then I lived in France for some time, I learned to love wine and chees. (I hated cheese as well.) While I ws there I took a wine tasting class, and a few more here in Vermont.
I learned that the perfect wine can enhance the flavors of food to an extent I never imagined possible. 6 years ago

..is Brown Brothers – Tarrango. As much as I’d prefer to be promoting a wine from New Zealand, this Australian red is absolutely superb!
Recommended to drink chilled, but I’ve been drinking it at room temperature and I think it’s fantastic. I’ve been through three bottles already. (I may have to buy a few boxes of this stuff) 6 years ago

Only a crappy little tasting as part of training, but it was really interesting and fun (although having a cold was rather a hindrance and I had to get inventive when the tutor asked me about the ‘nose’ – I couldn’t smell a thing!). I enjoyed it because although we considered the wines in a commercial context (i.e. how can I make this wine sound appealing), the guy stressed that the best way of selling is by discovering what you like and being able to tell customers about it. I like the times when I don’t totally hate having a job! 7 years ago
