So here we are: the first wine reviews written solely in emoji. I have chosen cru Beaujolais for this experiment because the best quality of a great Beaujolais is delight. Or, better expressed, Beaujolais 🍷🍇😛🍽🍔🍕🍗🤗💘.

Don't think I'm kidding: I took a lot longer translating my raw tasting notes into published form on these wines than I usually do. 📕👁👏

So one is good when drinking with Santa while watching multiple clocks, and another is best when dining on goats at your candlelight campsite.
One is good with a woman in jail, while another compels women to dance.
Ah, one has a double dose of mega purple that makes you want to wrestle.
And that first one is for bro-snowflakes whose "friends" avoid them like the plague.
Thanks. This clears up all the confusion.
My pleasure!
Something I discovered from doing this: I wanted to use universal emojis so that you would see what I chose. If I used a kumquat emoji, for example, that I lifted from the Internet, your phone or computer might not display it correctly if we are using different operating systems.
What that meant was that I had a lot fewer fruits to choose from. Is that a bad thing? This might actually be a positive evolution in tasting notes. There were many writing restrictions in doing this -- mouthfeel was very difficult to express -- but aren't you glad to see a bunch of wine reviews with no black raspberry, red currant or gooseberry?
Pretty brilliant.
Wait . . . what ‽ [*]
". . . wine reviews with no black raspberry, red currant . . ."
Aren't those represented by this symbol?: 🍒
[*Speaking of symbols and punctuation marks, see what I did there? It's called an interrobang. Look it up.]
