More School Stuff

I thought I should put it out on the internets that wine class is definitely getting better. As we have moved into tasting I have been finding that I have grown to like my instructor a lot and my first impressions were either flawed, or are overcome by his passion and excitement about a mutually interesting subject. It also helps that when he found out that I am particularly fond of Rhone wines he brought in some really spectacular bottles for the class. It is hard to be ambivalent about someone who goes out of their way to be nice to you.

I like wine. I like to drink it a lot, but I don't usually stray too far from my preferred choices of Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon. I have found that I enjoy several other kinds as well through the class. But, I have also found that my dislike of Chardonnay also rings true. Whether it is done in a light breezy Chablis style or a deep complex Cote D'or, I simply don't like it. There is something about the grape that just doesn't work for me. I may have to experiment and see if I can find a food I like it with, but you won't catch me savoring a second glass after my meal is done.
