The only way to get to know a wine is to take a few hours with it .
Let it change and let it change you .
Take a glass of wine and learn to breathe while you are drinking , air has to interact with the wine , they flower together .
With wine you are only learning what you don't know , first you must relearn your senses , ( sight , sound , taste , smell ) your senses are always right , it is our ideas that can be false .
The best way to get to know wine is to live with it ....the terroir ... earth literally translates into land .
Let me give an example ..French Champagne ( not the generic sparkly ), real champagne has the existence of terrior , the chalky content in the soil , a cold northern climate , the slow second fermentation , these wines can only come from one place in the world .
I am not talking about the multi million dollar corporations that produce a tasting brand .... there are no vintages , no plots , no irregularities of place , complications or difference in top soil between Reims and Aube .
The best champagnes are French bottled estate champagnes , they are hard to acquire as they are small in production and struggle to have the funding to compete with the well known brands such as Veuve and Moet .
