My current experience with wine has been fairly limited. I have
tried a relatively low number of wine varieties. I have enjoyed a glass
occasionally with my mother, grandmother, or fiancé. Although my experiences
have been limited, I do know that I have started to find some wines I enjoy
more than others. Previously, I have gone mostly with white wines, knowing they
tend to have a slightly sweeter, fruitier taste to them. My first experiences were wines such as Pinot Grigio and White Zinfandel. However, recently I have tried a few reds and
was surprised that I am beginning to enjoy them more.
I enjoy having a
glass of wine with dinner or after while spending time with my family or fiancé.
I have found that I do enjoy red wine more when I have it with dinner. I have also noticed that there can be a lot
of difference in taste, for the same type of wine. When I found something I liked, I thought it
would be good to automatically go for the same thing again. I noticed a
difference in taste, depending on where it came from, two bottles of Pinot Grigio
can taste rather different. I also
noticed that I cared more for one bottle of Syrah than another. This is something I am interested in exploring more throughout this course
I am very excited
about this course. I am interested in learning different things about tasting
wine and experiencing new types of wine.
I am interested in being able to discuss wine and the differences
between different wines with others.
