LEARNING

How do you remember a wine? How do you describe your tasting experience? This wine is a Chateau Lafite Rothschild.

I am intrigued with the words people use to convey their impressions of a wine, and their memory. One expert talks about what their nose knows while another speaks to mouth sensations. I have limited vocabulary to talk about wine other than textural. That's probably why I continue to take pictures through the microscope. The images serve as a symbolic vocabulary that may someday be useful to all of us to remember wine.

It always surprises me how wine expresses itself in pictures and taste. I enjoy it without words and still would like a larger lexicon, any suggestions how to create wine language?
