Evolution of a Palate. Part 2
At the end my previous article, I mentioned which red wines were delivering more overall pleasure than my previous favorites: wines with less intensity in color, aroma and flavor; those with less reliance on new oak; and others with a tad more palate-cleansing acidity.   In a word, wines that are “lip smacking” good, aka delicious .   But first, let’s revisit Cola, my very first and favorite, food-accompanying beverage, and why it never failed to satisfy.   Beyond the seductive sweetness, the reason I (and likely you) loved Cola with cheeseburgers and French fries was because of the fizzy stuff.   Acidity.   Besides washing down the food, it did something else I didn’t fully appreciate: it cleansed my palate between bites (of all that artery clogging sludge), and prepped it for the next mouthful.

Ask Adam: Is It True Only Cheap Sake Should Be Served Hot?
If you Google this question, the resounding answer you’ll find on the interwebs is that the only sake that should ever be heated is the cheap stuff, but that’s a misunderstood oversimplification of sake, borne from too many sake bombs consumed at chain hibachi restaurants.

Evolution of a palate. Part One
As a wine newbie, my original preferences were likely determined by a Cola-trained palate.   Mateus and Lancers, popular Pinks of the day, were soft, very palate-friendly, and inexpensive, plus they had the added cachet of being imported.   But it didn’t take long, noting in the “savor” tasting step, that they weren't savory, they were sweet! My pursuit shifted to California whites, and I started sniffing and sipping Chenin Blanc. Somewhat off-dry, but not as overtly sweet as the Portuguese Pinks, it was a bit more “serious” because the varietal seemed to lay claim to French provenance, which is where the day’s action was in upscale food and wine.  Also, it was soft and easy to drink.    Sensing that I was a budding wine Geek, a friend with far more wine experience than I, offered me this sage advice: “For reds, drink Cabernet Sauvignon, and for whites, drink Chardonnay. The Cabernet goes with meats, and the Chardonnay goes with fish. You don’t need anythi
