Ever taste wine in the presence of its winemaker, not like it, and
have to provide your opinion to him/her when asked? It’s a sticky predicament
for sure. You could simply lie and say you liked it, but if you choose to be
honest, you’ve got to be careful, you don’t want to insult the person who so
graciously is letting you sample his/her creation. Considering that a winemaker’s wines are like his/her
children, it’s difficult to say you don’t like one of them. What to do? Unless you
are an expert and can provide constructive criticism about the wine, it’s
probably best to simply say that the style doesn’t appeal to you or it’s not
your cup of tea. Whichever approach you take, be kind. This is known as the
“courtesy factor”.
