Wine Whines

I heard from my brother Vincent today. He is 40, with brown hair, glasses, and a goatee. He is an engineer at Intel and a wine connoisseur. In other words, he is someone who reads the wine columns in the newspaper and can make sense of those exotic beverage descriptions. He understands instantly when he reads, "This is a vintner's delight. It has overtures of oak, a hint of holly, and a trace of tangerine, complementing any meat entree du jour." I read those descriptions and wonder when the writer will tell me if it is a red or white wine and whether the bottle is easy to open.
