He's a great big wino!
Hehehehe..... I was flicking through magazines yesterday, when I came across a recent issue of Q Magazine..
It was all Kurt Cobain blahblahblaaaaaaahhh on the front and I was like "hmmm... nah.." but while flicking through I spotted this lil bit about Maynard so I bought it. (lucky for me though, there was a really funny interview with Marilyn Manson, and a few other things about people I like too, so it was good value).
Anyway... here's the article..
Step 1: Do Your Homework
You've got to read a lot about wine. Check out lots of reviews to see what's good and when best to drink it.
A "good year" depends on the climatic conditions. Everything goes into it, and perfect weather doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be great. Everyone's palate is unique. It could be that cheap grocery store wine is just your taste, though I usually go straight for the Penfolds Bin 389, a Cabernet Shiraz. For $20 it's a decent bottle of wine.
Step 2: Match Up Your Food
You really need to pay attention to what you're drinking wine with. If you're going to have a good spicy curry, it won't go with a red wine. Stick with a white, something crisp and perhaps a little sweet. Red wines are better with red meats. As a rule white's better with fish, but it depends on the fish. If you're having a really hardy fish, like swordfish, a heavier red will go well.
Step 3: Sit On It
At the last count I had 3000 bottles in my cellar. Recently, I opened a 1995 Chateauneuf-du-Pape and was pleasantly surprised how its taste had changed. Plus it's a shrewd investment. A Burgundy I bought almost tripled in price over six months. It went up from $5000 to $13,000. It's insane. It seems wine's a better investment than the stock market. Even in times of war, people still drink their wine.
Well... glad to see he's putting all our hard-earned money we spend on his albums to good use..
