I enjoyed your article in the Cedar Park magazine and hope that through articles like this more people will realize they do not have to be socially correct in the wine they choose and should drink what they like. I have echoed that sentiment and practiced it as well for many years and periodically people who knew that I drink wine often would ask about why I had red wine with fish or whatever and my comment would be I drink what I like.
I live on a cul de sac and have mostly younger people for neighbors, they have been drinking wine for a much shorter time than I and they ask me about this wine or that wine. I tell them that I am a wine expert on only one thing and that is that I know what I like. Wine is like art, in that it is individual and there are few definitive good or bad but different with each taste bud.
I do struggle with defining tastes with my wines. I have participated in numerous wine tastings in Napa and the surrounding areas of California and no matter how hard I try to focus on the tastes that the “experts” talk about I have difficulty in identifying them. However, I keep on trying and enjoying the wines.
I look forward to your future articles
