Sarah – wouldn’t that be Pteru-gasm then? Or Margauxrgasm? Anything “petro” to me sounds like oil…

Wilf – funny! Indeed, my image here might be a head-scratcher as well.

But the wine had such a dominant note of chipotle, that’s really how I “saw” it! That and I wanted to show off my mad photoshopping skillz…

Actually, the Petrogasm stands for a linking on Petrus and Orgasm.

Totally agree here….I’ve published a couple of reviews on there (most recently the Olga Chinon) but there was one, as an example, with a cat’s paw (that seemed retouched into the photo) sticking out of a kitchen cabinet…HUH? I’m a graphic artist, so I usually “get it” but things like that, just make you go hmm.

That is my response as well often as not, “huh?”
Some great pictures though and since I’m into photography a bit, I enjoy that part. I guess until you taste the wine yourself some of the pictures leave you wondering. Like the picture with this post. Will this wine leave you reaching for a big glass of cold beer to wash away the cactus prickles and the big peppery heat?
