Totally agree, Ryan. No time for wine snobs either. Taste it; if you like it, good. If you don’t, drink something else!
Eating with or before a wine tasting is definitely a good idea. Great point. I quite like doing pairing events actually, where the venue puts together food that matches the wine you’re trying.

I love learning more about wine, but have little patience for wine snobs.

Eating before wine tasting is smart too. Too easy to get tipsy quick on an empty stomach.

I was hoping you’d drop in on this post, Sonia! Glad you agree with my tips – it’s what I’ve found to work but I never really know whether I’m doing the right thing or not. Love your tip too btw – it really isn’t an exam. It does seem to bring out the competitive streak in some though, doesn’t it?

Oh absolutely, Smags! It just winds me up… I should probably listen to what they’ve got to say as there’s a good chance they know what they’re talking about… but then again, I don’t want to end up sounding like a berk. Thankfully, our beloved Wine Saints aren’t like that all. Humble with their ethereal knowledge, these gents!

I agree – be happy, smiley and friendly from the get go. You start off on a good note with the person behind the bar and you are IN, my friend. Ask questions, share what you think and enjoy it – it’s meant to be a fun experience not an exam!

I’m like ‘What ever dude. As long as there’s alcohol in it, top me up.’
