"I brought the wine you asked for," my husband said setting the bottle on the kitchen counter.
"Excellent," I said rubbing my hands together with anticipation.
"It's young."
"Excellent."
"So young that when I bought it they were still stomping the grapes."
"Excellent!"

I love this! I know nothing about wine except how to drink it. Every summer I go to the vineyard near me for their summer concert series, but this summer, I'm going to pay attention to what and how I drink. I'm going to buy a young bottle tomorrow and try your experiment. Thanks! Great post!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and for your comment! I'm happy that you're going to try this at home! Decanting can make a young wine older, but it can't make a bad wine great. So get a reputable young wine! Good luck!

while I do not drink wine I did find this very interesting! Great chemistry lesson!

Hi Deb!
DeleteThanks for reading and for your comment! That's the beauty about wine and cooking--chemistry permeates both of them. If my high school teacher had told me the importance of chemistry in everyday life, I would have gotten straight A's in that class! Happy A-Zing!

I enjoyed reading your post, it made me laugh. I'm not much of a wine drinker but I learned something new which is always good.

We have several decanters- they do seem like magic :-) A very happy A-Z subject!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa!
DeleteThanks for reading and for your comment! Decanters are scientific magic and wine is better because of all of them. Happy A-Zing!

Finally I have found a blogger who has touched my heart.... well, at least my palate. While blog hopping through the A-Z Challenge list, I came upon this site and thought, well, whatever"!!.
ReplyDeleteWow! I have actually read not only your "D" word, but all the rest... including your intro blog!!
Well, done!! Oh, did I mention in this way too long "note" that I am a wine lover as well. Cheers!
Patricia, Sugar & Spice & All Things ? Nice
Hi Patricia!
