Gangnam style wine, or Harlan Estate as some call it.


1995 Harlan Estate:
Deep ruby, garnet rim. Rich, hugely intense, vanilla, massive, scented like a tax free shop, all over the place. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, massive body, almost cooked, Gangnam style wine! According to PSY. the man behind the hit Gangnam style, that means to dress classy and dance cheesy. From the urban dictionary cheesy means: 'Trying too hard, unsubtle, and inauthentic. Specifically that which is unsubtle or inauthentic in its way of trying to elicit a certain response from a viewer, listener, audience, etc. Celine Dion is cheesy because her lyrics, timbre, key changes, and swelling orchestral accompaniment telegraph 'i want you to be moved' instead of moving you. Gold chains on an exposed hairy chest are cheesy because they shout out: "I have money and I am manly" instead of impressing a woman in a more subtle way, or allowing a woman to form her own judgments. The excessive showing off suggests he's compensating for what he does not have--i.e., he's actually poor, insecure, or short with an inferiority complex.' Burning alcoholic finish.... 82
