I tried to make a batting lineup by grape variety

Sommelier Blog

I tried to arrange the batting order by grape variety.

  1. (Right) Sauvignon Blanc
  2. (2) Riesling
  3. (Left) Merlot
  4. (1) Cabernet Sauvignon
  5. (Catcher) Pinot Noir
  6. (3) Malbec
  7. (Center) Syrah
  8. (Play) Gewurztraminer
  9. (Throw) Chardonnay

As expected, the leadoff batter was the young and agile Sauvignon Blanc , who sprinted briskly to first base with an infield hit.

The second, sweet-faced Riesling , is a technical player with a dry side. Here, he bunts safely.

Number three is Merlot , a middle-distance hitter. He has a rounded build and is a lovable character. He hits a single to center field, putting runners on first and third.

The fourth batter was the muscular Cabernet Sauvignon , who hit a powerful three-run home run.

Number 5, Pinot Noir , a popular player known for his delicate play, fouled off the ball and walked.

Number 6, the unexpected giant, Malbec , struck out with a powerful swing.

Number 7, Schiller , is showing his presence. A safety bunt puts runners on first and second.

Number 8 was Gewurztraminer , the most popular player among women, who hit a single to center field to load the bases.

Number 9, Chardonnay , the ace with a sloppy look. He tried a surprise squeeze play, but got a double play. The top of the first inning ended.

Now, in the bottom of the first inning, starting pitcher Chardonnay will likely confuse the opposing batting line-up with his relaxed pitching style that makes extensive use of curves.

The reserve pitchers are the tireless Tempranillo and the astringent Nebbiolo .

The pinch hitters are Pinot Gris , known for his compact batting, Muscadet , who has nimble batting skills, and Viognier, who has a solid stance.

Now, let's narrow it down!!!

...Eh? Are you free?

yes.

I'm bored.

The restaurant industry continues to face headwinds.

I feel like I'm going a little bald because I've been exposed to the wind head-on for almost three years now.

If you'd like, come to Bokumo and check your hairline.

Oh, Bokumo Wine is currently having a 15% off sale on Merlot & Cabernet numbers 3 and 4.
