If the Wine is Yummy, You Should Drink It
Tasting wine is easy. If you like it, you should drink it. It doesn’t matter if your spouse doesn’t like the wine or if I don’t like your wine. Simply put, if the wine is YUMMY to you, you should drink it.
One of the best examples of that was a lovely lady who attended an exclusive tasting that I did many years ago. She only drank White Zinfandel. I was told that was all she has ever liked. That evening she tasted a few of my wonderful wines. I just knew that she would find some wines that were even more pleasing to her. Well, at the end of the evening, all she wanted was her White Zinfandel. That wine is simply yummy to her. I have gotten to know her family well. To this day, when I go to a dinner and I know that she will be there, I make sure to bring her a bottle of her favorite White Zin. She is appreciative and the rest of us drink my wines.
In a future blog, maybe we can get into the mechanics of actually tasting wine and even of opening wine and serving wine, especially the serving temperature.
