Ho Ho No
Hey folks, my taste buds are still not up to snuff, I think. Even though my COVID has long since passed, I’m not getting any nuances out of wines. Maybe the wines really aren’t any good? I honestly can’t tell, and I don’t think it’s fair to make recommendations when I don’t know.
I recall the wave of “Yankee Candles don’t smell like anything!” reviews from the last couple of years. Unlike those intrepid Amazonians, I think the problem might actually be me.
I feel fine otherwise. I’ll be testing on Christmas morning — there’s a lot of older relatives and ones with health conditions coming to dinner — and I recommend you do the same.
Johnny and I wish you a warm and cozy holiday and a very Happy New Year. I’ll be back when everything else is back.
