Wine Line - Wine Education and Tasting Podcast

This is the tasting show. It's going to be a little bit technical but, I hope it helps you understand the factors that go into tasting wine. There is a lot of stuff happening as we taste a glass of wine. Is our perception of the price of a bottle of wine a factor in determining the taste of the wine in our brains? You bet! The reason I harass my dinner guests is that our stories have consequences, that our beliefs often matter more than the grapes. The question is what those stories are. If the only story we can tell about wine is its price, then our pleasure will always linked to cost, even though this link doesn’t exist in most taste tests. Let me know what you think about this narrative.
