As a wine professional I taste a lot of wine. Between reviewing,
judging and teaching, I must sample thousands yearly. Surprisingly, I actually
drink much less. One of the main reasons is time. When out driving to and from jobs,
events and the college, it’s plain irresponsible to excessively swallow what I
taste, especially if going on to another appointment or job. The other is
professionalism. Contrary to what some might think, those of us in the wine
biz, are not drunk all the time. Any who are, usually don’t last because they
make fools of themselves or end up ill. When at home or at friends’, and not
driving, I indulge, usually in better quality wine and ultimate enjoy more what
I’m sipping.
