Enjoyed very much,

It reminded me of the time I started passing wine courses back at the end of the 20th century [ you must admit that sounds impressive ]. I was speaking abou fruits and spices and the group had difficulties to understand what I was talking about or how can that be found in wine.

For the next lesson I took them to the market and had them smell fruits, dried fruits, herbs, dried herbs, spices etc...

Then we started looking for a wet dogs and cat wee wee [ just kidding here ].

At a later stage I brought in the Nez du Vin. I was not too happy about that because it seemed to lack a dimension, even though many found it entertaining.

Was a pleasure to read.

Thank you for the article,

I can't say I agree with the sight as related to flavor.

Many fine wines are wrongly judged by their appearance. In many of my TN's I even choose to skip the sight and move on to smell, taste, after taste and an overall impression.

I am speaking from a more experienced point of view. I had bottles of wines returned to me simply because they look over the hill.

Many winemaker are too concerned with this issue in order to sell their wines.
