Not much point to it, if all one is ever going to do is to write and read about wine. And, as you will see below, not much point to it either if one's just going to glug the stuff with hardly a moment's reflection. With this section, I hope to entice you into really tasting the wine in your glass—possibly for the first time ever.
I'm not being haughty or sarcastic. I have been drinking wine for years and years; I never just sloshed it down. But it is only recently that I have learnt to properly appreciate what is in my glass. It is surprising how little it takes.
To keep me on my toes—and because it's a fun thing to do!—I run a tasting group for those, who, like me, discovered that it makes all the difference in the world when one puts a little bit of effort into getting to know what is in one's glass. If these pages might persuade you to give it a go, we'd be very happy to have you join us!
