Ever
taste a wine abroad in the place of origin and discover that wine back home,
but somehow it just doesn’t come across the same? Well, you’re not alone. Part
of the trip of tasting wine where it is made is seeing, first-hand, the
vineyards and winery; meeting the winemaker; sampling the local food; inhaling
the indigenous smells, experiencing the lifestyle of that region and the sheer
excitement of just being there. No matter how hard you try, simulating that
back home, even with the exact same vino, isn’t quite the same and as a result
something in the tasting experience is missing. What’s missing is the “romance
factor.” For most people, the “romance of wine” encompasses an ideal or fantasy
that makes it more enjoyable.
