The Components of Wine
The Components of Wine
I must confess that I had been drinking wine, with quite an interest, keeping tasting notes and scouring retailers for certain wines that I wanted to try, long before I paid any attention to anything other than the flavour of a wine. Even when I heard other more experienced tasters talk about tannins and acidity, I was still somewhat bemused as to what they where referring to. Realisation only began to dawn when I really began to pay attention to the structure of a wine, rather than just the flavour. An appreciation of the balance of tannins, acidity, alcohol, flavour and other components did much to help in my understanding and enjoyment of wine. Self-education regarding taste is, however, difficult. My first taste of a three year old classed growth claret did a lot to tell me about the effects of tannin on a wines drinkability and longevity. I hope this brief guide to the components that make up a wine will help you to understand and enjoy them more also, without having to pop open too many expensive wines as part of your learning!
Pairing Wine and Food
Pairing Wine and Food
The problem of pairing wine and food seems to be one that bothers many people. It's never bothered me, though, as I follow two basic rules. Firstly, it's far more important to pair wine with people, not food. Secondly, wine and food in general work well together - there are only a few combinations which really do not work. This article describes what I mean by pairing wine with people, and gives some detail about those wine and food matches that are to be avoided, as well as discussing a few of the more classic matches.
