The secret of enjoying a good wine.

[Chad]

1. Open the bottle to allow it to breathe.

2. If it does not look like it's breathing, give it mouth-to-mouth.

The secret of enjoying a good wine:

Hertsblue :

1) Don't bother opening it.
2) Send it to me. (only if it is a french or italian wine)
3) Drink your crappy horse piss, I don't give a dam.

The ACTUAL recipe for a dry martini is:
1 pour a generous measure of gin.
2 open a bottle of vermouth, preferably in another room, and leave it there.
3 add a twist of lemon.
O
4 olive optional.
Drink.

We're doing reasonably good stuff in South Africa by now too (may be significant that many Afrikaaners are called Marais, du Toit, de Villiers, du Plessis, Joubert...).

What about the Aussie 'Chateau Chunder'.....That's not bad either.

Seriously.......can 'Joe Average' truly tell where a wine comes from...Or even someone who thinks he's some sort of expert.
One chap I worked with....(he did appear to think himself rather 'posh') used to believe he was some sort of 'connersewer'.

The boss played a trick on him by buying two bottles of wine....One red...One white.
The 'expert' liked red.....but wasn't at all keen on white at all...Sooooooo.

The red wine was about as cheap a bottle as you could get in those days (late seventies).....The white, a pretty decent one (apparently....But I wouldn't know !!)

Mr Expert screwed up his face on tasting the white, and declared it 'cheap rubbish.'
The red (the really cheap one) was greeted with 'Ah....No....that's much more like it....'

So much for Mr Expert !!

I know someone who can tell where the wine came from. ( if it is a wine she already knows. Yes, a girl !    )

I've been told about an excellent french wine taster, who knew wines.  His friends bought some wines and mixed them. While tasting, he said "this wine doesn't exist !"

Ronan, equally loving red wines and beers, living in an area of white wines !

My grandad used to be able to do that with whiskey's, don't know if he still can though!

My dad is in a different category. He never knew  when to stop

I can tell where wine comes from.  It's on the carrier bag.
