Sidebar: Trust your own wine palate

As the podcast listeners know, I am a firm believer that you should drink what you like, yet continue to try new things. Drinking wine that you like is perhaps the most important lesson that I can offer. If someone else likes a wine or thinks it is good, you may not necessarily like it. Or you may. Everyone’s palate and preferences differ, so always take wine recommendations with a grain of salt.

A good wine tasting note, one that describes the wine in simple terms, is more helpful than a generic recommendation. If the wine in question appears to match your own preferences, then give it a try. If it seems to be a style that you don’t care for, take a pass.

Life is too short to drink wines that you don’t enjoy. Try new ones, but don’t force yourself to finish a bottle if you don’t like it. The odds are you have a friend or two who will be happy to take the gently used bottle off of your hands. :-) If worse comes to worst, send it to me. ;-)
