What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
When I had just begun following wines as a passion, I used to seek advise from a lot of people who were knowledgeable about it. Over a period of time I found such advice very helpfully in my wine journey.
In this context the best piece of advise I’ve ever received is this: “Taste as many wines you can lay on hands on”.
Taste and not Drink Notice the key word here is Taste and not Drink. It implies that as a student of wine one should not be choosy and endeavour always should be to taste a vast number of wines irrespective of whether they are good, bad, ugly or beautiful.
Taste and make notes by writing down in a note book dedicated for this purpose or if that’s not possible make a mental not about the peculiarities of the wine.
A bad wine will also teach you a lot of things It’s the best teacher. It tells you what all it lacks in its style and taste and why. This also helps you to appreciate and value a good wine.
Cheers !!
Excellent and in total agreement with you – “A bad wine will also teach you a lot of things It’s the best teacher. It tells you what all it lacks in its style and taste and why. This also helps you to appreciate and value a good wine.”

Thankyou:)
😅 other than using port for mutton curry I have yet to tutor myself in imbibing wine! But very insightful post…
Thankyou for appreciating. Wines are often used in cooking. I’m sure the Port adds to the succulent flavours to the mutton. Cheers.
