When I’m sampling wine, whether judging
it, teaching about it or trying it at a tasting, I’m always shocked at how some
folks only think big, bold, alcoholic styles are better. Other’s that tend to
be softer and elegant with more finesse often get passed over, dismissed or
lose out in competition. I guess it’s only human nature to be overwhelmed by
“in-your-face” styles, but one should learn to appreciate these less aggressive
versions too. Delicate wines with subtle flavours, aromas and nice structure
can be really good, versatile, food-friendly and a great contrast to the
others. Being more open to elegant styles will enhance your wine appreciation
and you won’t miss out on some great sipping. Bigger isn’t always better.
