"Don't forget to stop and enjoy your buzz instead of solely focusing on the wine!"

Richard Auffrey said...: Alcohol is often the elephant in the room. Everyone knows it is there, yet few actually discuss it. Many wine reviews don't mention the alcohol content of the wine. Few bloggers talk about the enjoyment they receive from the alcohol. It is like it doesn't exist.; November 23, 2009 at 9:47 PM
The Wine Whore said...: You are absolutely correct! Rarely do I read a wine review where there is much mention of the buzz. Are people ashamed of this element of wine? My opinion is that you shouldn't spit ALL of the wine you taste. If there is something you like, you should definitely spend some time exploring the "trip" or buzz that it brings. After all, isn't alcohol a fundamental part of making wine... shouldn't it also be a fundamental part of its enjoyment?
