Wine: A Contact Sport

 

Yes, wine is Beautiful to look at. However, the Real Appeal of Wine is in the mouth, from there down to the stomach. That may sound a bit crude, but without this final step wine is purely academic. 
The French say " En Bouche", we Californians say: "The Palate".  Ultimately, it's what shows up on the palate that gives a wine the attention it seeks to produce. 
So we see that wine gives us the Pleasure that Nature intended in a series of experiences. That's the Contact part of the equation. Using all your senses to discover what the wine is trying to tell us.
The Sport is the Passion to pull apart the process of winemaking and understand all the intricacies that go into the bottle and, you got it, En Bouche!
