In Vino Veritas

Wine can be a very serious business!  But not on my wine tours!  The best attitude for wine tasting is a sense of Adventure and Discovery.  Imagine you're out looking for a hidden treasure, which in my mind that's exactly what we do when we go wine tasting.

Our "job" while wine tasting is to find the wines we like and grab a bottle or two for later.  Wine is all about memories; past, present and future.  That day you had that bottle of Merlot with friends in the backyard will be a happy memory for your lifetime, so that each time you have a glass of Merlot you are conjuring up that good time.

The most important tool that you use while wine tasting are your own experiences.  Don't try to out guess yourself by putting unrealistic expectations on your tastings.  I say to just let the wine talk to you and learn to listen.  You will find more of the wines you love this way.
