  Informative to me… thanks to Jane Nickles for putting everything together. Sums up aspects of wine nicely and doesn’t ‘condescend’.

  Sorry, but many of us won’t agree with her, in red wines smells like tar, leather, etc. are what we are willing to pay the bigger bucks for! And, yes, she does need to use better stemware!

  I slightly disagree. A bidder taste serve a physical purpose by causing slight pain on your tongue increasing blood flow and in return increases taste and sensitivity in the tongue. A strait out bad smell serves no physical purpose & doesn’t increase taste in some way.

  very informative, however, the correct wine glass is crucial to the placement of the wine itself on the palet… white and reds have their own style, wider mouth on the red since it needs to breathe and odors alter… get the good stuff out next time…:)
