Red and White
So i’m not one of these wine buffs that thinks he knows ever vintage from every year from every collection over the whole world. I’m an amateur. I have basic knowledge of red and white and that’s about the extent of it. But i’ve done research and any person that wants to get into Wine or wants to learn about it should do just that. Understand grapes, understand their purpose, their use, and the differences, understand that some grapes grow in some regions of the world while others only grow exclusively on some continents.
But do not be intimidated by names, brands, categories, or marketing
wine is wine
its meant to be drunk
enjoyed
and experienced
this is truly the only way to understand wine at its full meaning
you could do all the research in the world
and become one of the most important connoisseur of wine
but if you haven’t tasted a bottle
then you’d be a hack
and that’s the beauty of wine
with beer you know what your getting
its a constant
a safe point of comfort and consistency
but wine is always a mystery and almost a mystic art form, when it comes to se
lecting a proper bottle of wine, be it for a meal, for fun, or for a gift.
but i’ll be damned if, when you get it right, that feeling of success you get, isn’t one of the best feelings in the world.
But at the end of it all Wine is just wine
so stop whining about it
and just drink
responsibly
-H.A.
