The Truth about Fine Wine
Fine wine. What does that really mean? The truth is, as words, they don’t mean much. There is no official classification system for the title “fine wine.” It’s not like the regulated usage of “Premier Cru” or “Grand Cru Classé,” for example, rather anyone can throw it out there and see if it sticks.

Verities from wine tasting classes.
Depending on how long you’ve been swirling and spilling, there are times when you have to deal with advice offered in a wine tasting class. You can accept it as truth, reject it as myth, or wait until you have confirmation of either. Of course, I jest in the first sentence above about spilling. But I did, in fact, reject a class moderator’s claim that if you weren’t spilling it on yourself or elsewhere, then you weren’t aggressive enough, and would never unleash those otherworldly, underlying aromas and flavors. And I also must acknowledge that I have stained fine wooden table tops, baptized exquisite handmade tablecloths and napkins, soiled irreplaceable Persian carpets, as well as adding new, semi-floral designs to my silkenTommy Bahama shirts.
