Appreciating Wines: See, Smell and Taste
Introduction
As we strive in today's hectic world, we may choose to engage in cooking, exercising, or tending to a lovely garden. All these things we love may not be vital, but they do make life richer and more fulfilling.
That's why wine lovers learn to taste. We know that the effort we put into understanding and appreciating wine adds an extra dimension to the basic daily routines of eating and drinking.
"It turns obligation into pleasure, a daily necessity into a celebration of life." (Thomas Matthews)
