Thank you for saying this. I’ve always felt like the best wine moments happen when we drop the need to sound smart and just let it be what it is. A feeling. A memory. A vibe. Not a damn checklist of tasting notes that sound like a farmers market exploded.

You're so right! one of my biggest pet peeves is someone when immediately starts blurting out tasting notes before I've even had the first sip. It turns wine into a test instead of a pleasure.

I was just expressing the same thought to @Paul Gregutt whenever there’s a group tasting. Drives me nuts. Everyone has to be first.

Well said, Wanda. I can do without the farmers market list of produce. 😀

I'm a big fan of Weis, too. And not of tasting notes. ;-)
