I warned you that cork was an imperfect enclosure for a bloody nose.

Sir, the next time you open Champagne, don’t stand directly over the bottle. I’m going to need the curly pliers on this one.

I can appreciate the practicality of it (for Keith Richards, Marlene Dietrich and Gort alike). But when you think about the fact that so much of sensation is about the brain and learning and being a good observer, then one would be well served to insure that organ and avoid all things which may affect it. The underwriter’s (Jonathan Thomas) quote gives a ‘gimmicky’, publicity seeking feel to the whole thing.

Arthur, silly yes. And restrictive! Here’s what Gort is not able to do:
The Dutchman is not allowed to ride a motorcycle or be a boxer, knife thrower’s assistant or a fire-breather.

“I may not fight against Mike Tyson,” Gort said.

This is such a silly undertaking. If I were a Lloyd’s assessor, I’d look at other things to insure in these individuals. There are other, more concerning and relevant health issues to insure for a wine maker or critic. What is the chance Parker or Gort will get popped in the nose and end up with permanent anosmia? (wait don;t answer that) Probably a lot less than their risk of a stroke.

Tired with the Budometer, Tim Hanni counts nose hair as part of his research on the Smellometer.

Your left nostril I will insure for 5 million, for the right I can only give you 3 million …

I see it now François. As I keep telling you, stick to making wines with aromas of berries. These cool-fermented wines smelling of bananas are quite dangerous.
