Speed drinking

Some blogs I enjoyed reading with my daily glass of wine. And remember a glass a day keeps the doctor away!

At The Pour I was delighted to read “A Plea for Finesse”. I love finesse in wine and I think there is a, maybe still a bit underground, movement towards finesse and subtlety.

Just one quote I couldn’t hold back:

“To put it another way, a marching band will always outblast a piano trio, and if you are accustomed only to marching bands, you may not appreciate the trio.”

That food and wine pairing is not a laid back and easy thing to do, is proven by Spittoon where a short piece is written about a matching to avoid: Food and Wine Matching – a Pairing to Avoid. Always good to know what type of pairings you really must stay away from. And if you do not believe the author, well just test for yourself!

The blog On the Wine Trail in Italy of Alfonso Cevola really delivers each time little pearls of stories. The one about The Sound of One Nose Smelling is just great reading. Here he gives you his own focus on our most important sense when trying wine, the nose.

One final number, ever heard about little test-tubes? I just know of these small pharmacists bottles that are used for whisky samples. Well, now you have also test-tubes for wine. Jamie Goode writes about it on his blog and gives his view on it: Test-tube wines.

Have a nice wine with your reading today!
