============================
Great wines taste like they come from somewhere.
Lesser wines taste interchangeable; they could come from anywhere.
You can’t fake somewhereness. You can’t manufacture it …
but when you taste a wine that has it, you know.
~MATT KRAMER, Making Sense of Wine
===============================
Wine is a highly personal experience.
You may like something your neighbor hates, just as with food.
Your bitter is the next person’s sweet.
~CATHERINE FALLIS, Wine: Grape Goddess Guides to Good Living
