How to Be a Wine Snob

While I definitely think that wine snobbery can be taken too far, simply appreciating what you are experiencing does not make you a snob. Finding a common language to talk about wine is quite natural - when a group of people go out to a restaurant and someone has chicken that is smoky (maybe the paprika?) using the word smoky just helps everyone understand what you mean. It is the same for wine.

"One panel of judges even rejected a particular vintage twice only to award it a double-gold medal the third time they sampled it."

So booze gets better the more you drink. It's nice to validation of the research I did in college.

Got 90 from Parker too,

Intoxicates me still.

Crimson satin-kissed full lips,
