Wine tasting with new friends


While traveling on a cruise with a bunch of people who grew into friends, I taught some of them the joys of wine tasting. The fun part was seeing their eyes opened to how much wine changes with the swirling in the right wine glass, appreciating the aromas of the wine and how the taste of wine changes with food. It was particularly gratifying to witness these new friends truly appreciate the wine with a few simple steps. What was even better was opening up a few peoples’ mind who had claimed that they ‘didn’t like wine’. They probably didn’t like wine because they had never been taught how to open it up to enhance its’ flavor. My new friends have assured me that they now have a new appreciation for wine and are expanding their wine horizons. I think that it is good for them.
