曾在國外葡萄酒雜誌上看到一個故事

幾位自認是酒評家到有錢人家裡作客,主人開了一瓶Petrus招待客人,並先將酒瓶打開讓酒與空氣接觸,然後在大家面前倒進醒酒器。酒評家們喝到這瓶酒時讚不絕口,各式各樣形容好酒的字眼都用上了。後來主人拿了另一瓶已經放在醒酒器的酒進來,告訴客人剛才喝到的酒其實只是普通級的波爾多酒,現在拿進來的酒才是真正的Petrus。於是這些酒評家把上一瓶酒批評的體無完膚,並稱讚第二瓶酒的好。

故事裡的"酒評家"為了突顯自己懂酒,憑空捏造出一些不存在的感覺,事後發現出糗時,又用另一個方式捏造另一些不存在的感覺。還好故事裡沒有第三瓶酒。

從那時起我決定每一次喝酒評酒時,就算我已經看到酒標,我還是會儘量誠實表達我當時所看到的喝到的聞到的感覺,因為我不希望變成故事裡的酒評家。

要有能力欣賞一瓶好酒,可能要認真喝過很多酒後才有辦法。如果喝酒時沒有認真了解,下一次喝到一瓶好酒時,可能無法體驗到酒好的地方,換來的只是記憶裡的一個名字,或是這瓶酒的價錢。一個真正喜歡葡萄酒的人,他在喝酒時是很認真的,會用頭腦去思考記憶分析。

葡萄酒對每一個人的意義不同,有人靠葡萄酒交朋友,有人靠葡萄酒保持健康,有人靠葡萄酒增加生活樂趣,有人靠葡萄酒生活,有人靠葡萄酒增加靈感…….但是培養自己鑑賞酒的能力,會把你的生活水準帶到另一個層次,使生活變得多采多姿。

好酒不多,請大家省一點用,不要浪費在不對的場合和對象上!!!!

沒錯, 喝酒是很主觀了, 自己喜歡最重要.

我同意你的說法,就算看到酒標,也要誠實的說出自己真正的想法和感覺。
印象最深刻的是,我曾經同時喝了好幾瓶葡萄酒,其中有一瓶是 Lafleur,另一瓶是 Petrus, Lafleur 的價錢只要 Petrus 的三分之一,但是我認為 Lafleur 明顯給我更多感觸和想法,所以我給它最高分。
雖然同桌的人認為 Petrus 最好,不認同我的看法,所以我只能說,喝酒是很主觀的,喜歡和開心最重要。
另一方面,找到超值酒真的很爽!

Hi Roy

Thank you for sharing your tasting trip with me.

I have not tasted any good Petite Syrah yet but I am sure there are very good ones around.

I have tasted some very good Zins and they are really fruity and delicious.

Happy Drinking

Hi Aaron:

I just come back from some wine tasting trip in Paso Robles/Templeton (south of Monterey) area. Due to the cool air come in the night and frozen degrees in winter (easier for organic farming), I planned to taste some good (W/S 88/89 like) or excellent (W/S 90/+) Medterrannian style (south France) wines.

Many wonderful surprises end a great memory.

Blends of Petite Syrah are all very good in aromatic, purple color, structure and end lingerings.

Zins. come as a surprise to me. (I am not a fan of Zin.) A small winery (Grey Wolf) has an excellent Zin. (100%) releases four times a year with different blending of each release (the wine maker tries to fine turn every detail). In a blind test, I will not able to taste it as Zin.. At Four Vines
(W/S' Jame Laube had a high mark and rated some Zins. in last Fall/Winter with a rating around 93 or so), a series
tasting of 6 Zins from grapes of different appellations end with the best
from its own ranch. The last one or the best one (2006)(while J.L. rated 93 for 2005 vintage) taste as harmony as a highly rated Cab. blending. It makes me to consider of trying more Zins. in future.

Pinot is another well known variety in this area. One winery (over hundred years old), York Mountain has several
excellent Pinots that I learned (later)
it is the best class of reds in S.F. Int'l Wine Competition for its 2005. Its
black Muscat is another rare treasury.

Two white Muscats have strong aromatic, clear color and very pleasant
finish.

I was running off time to do more tasting. Headed north on freeway 101 with grape planting nearly continued on
most of one or two sides of the road about one hundred miles long, that feeling of a strong wine industry is really impressed.

Try tasting wine with a sincere honest to ourself may bring more fun than any other way.

Roy
