Just How Many Different Flavors Can You Get Out Of A Grape?
After we took our midterm we reconviened in the gallery to start our wine
education. Tonight we had a basic "how to serve and how to taste wine" class.
The next 5 weeks will go more in depth and we will concentrate on different
vintatges and producers of each category of wine. Tonight we had a 2003 Monchhof
Rielsing Estate, 2004 Pepi Sauvignon Blanc, 2002 Kendall Jackson Chardonnay,
2002 Blackstone Pinot Noir Reserve, 2002 14 Hands Merlot, and a 2003 Trinchero
Cabernet Sauvignon. As you can probably tell from my other posts, I'm not much
of an alcohol drinker in the first place and I've only had a few wines that I
enjoyed. Of the 6 wines we had tonight, I enjoyed the Riesling the best. It was
sweet and wasn't dry with a slight apple taste.

At Cali's Central Coastline, there's *tons* of wineries out there now. I'm
curious if you did what ppl do at these places:
Take a few sips, swish it around your mouth; and spit it out.
I would *never* do that with beer. :)

They said we needed to swallow it to fully experience the aftertaste. I drank
all of the riesling and the chardonnay, I dumped the remaining of the other 4
wines.
During liquor night I drank all of the shots they gave us... Wine night, I
finished off two of the pours.. Coffee, Tea night I ended up dumping the
majority of it since we didn't have any sweet n low, sugar, milk or lemon. And
beer night... I dumped all of it and even spit out the majority of it....
everything but the stout.
