But when you're tasting through wines and getting a feel for it, then all the sudden you start picking out and identifying the flavors in it, it's pretty cool.

Oh no doubt. I love the nuance and matching flavors with the dishes I cook. I just think some people are bullshitting, and the snobbery some get about it is...pathetic.

It’s wine, it’s life, it’s love. We are meant to enjoy it, not scoff at someone for enjoying it wrong.

Well...yeah. So much that goes into a bottle of wine, especially the barrel aged ones.


Oh...but for wine people...Have any of y’all ever seen the wine episode of black books?

I used to think this too, and there certainly are people who talk out of their arse as well. But when you're tasting through wines and getting a feel for it, then all the sudden you start picking out and identifying the flavors in it, it's pretty cool.

Now I'm nowhere near as good as some of the people I come in contact with from day to day, but I can hold my own.

It's tough to appreciate wine until you do a big wine tastings or go to Napa. Having some wine from a bottle or two every now again doesn't really give you a good place to start from.

Even after getting into wine, the $25-40 is probably a good sweet spot for excellent, 2-3 bottles/week wine. You don't need $100 bottles, all of the time. And there are some good sub-$10 wines that are perfectly fine, they are just more rare.
