I’m finding that sometimes a flavour is very easy to identify and put my finger on. Other times it seems to be impossible, and wonder how other people have been successful.

I have to ask whoever I am with to keep quiet until I’ve had chance to try and think about it, otherwise my taste-buds are influenced by their comments. I always seek their views, but try and make my own mind up first.

My own tasting notes are certainly not sophisticated, probably quite inaccurate in some cases, but hopefully their a realistic reflection on the experience that I’ve had.

Also an interesting question though, whether the throwing around and discussion of wine-y (or beer related) adjectives may enhance the experience…

I found it pretty heavy going when I tried to just read it through, but now I’ve kind of got the idea of what they were saying I do find I keep going back to it.

My favourite one’s the one on ‘Objectivity of Tastes and Tasting.’ I’ve got a page or so of notes on that one, and they keep popping up in posts. (Hopefully I’m not plagiarising too much.)
