Okay so, though I was planning on opening the other wine for which I'd already purchased the accompanying food things, I decided to live dangerously and do both. Not at the same time. I simply decided to have a Caveageddon Weekend. It's the new thing, the 'geddons. I looked at Cellar Tracker to see what people were saying about this wine. From the meat department: a clear scent of German sausages...beef jerky... BBQ... Hillshire Farms Summer Sausage...smoked meats...charcoal....smoke... and a sweet meaty note
From the fruit department: black fruits...sweet, plummy, jammy...velvet lush cherry... plum, blackberry...dark fruits...blueberry...blackberry pie...blackberry liqueur.
From the pharmacy: Camphor... eucalyptus... Honey Ludens and Black Ludens...a slightly medicinal note.
Spice department: pepper...cloves...spices
Elements, nature and wood and everything else. : graphite...minerals...pine tar...cedar...rose hip...brambly... licorice...tar...smoke...tobacco
And chocolate.
So what am I going to say that is more, different, new? A. very
wisely instructed me to not have it with food, but to just drink it. If
anything, some bread and olive oil. Since I'm not doing bread, that
left olive oil, so I just drank it. So let me just say this: some
people like other people and might see this as occasion to gather the troops
for a grand share. But when I tasted this stuff, I thought it would be
best to quietly sneak it into your house, turn all the lights off, take
your clothes off, lie on the floor, and drink this stuff, slowly,
like an IV drip. But that's just me. 
(sexiest dish rack in Glendale.)
So that's it, I'm caught up on specific wines, but I still haven't figured out why everybody isn't onto this.
