yet complex
Actually, the truth is inside us, we just need sometimes an excuse to let it out. And wine might be a very nice excuse.
So what is the big fuss about it? " Wine is an alcoholic drink, typically made from fermented grapes..." Some years ago I spent hours debating this with a friend, a connoisseur, he was explaining me about wine being alive as it continues to evolve within the bottle, about tannins, bouquet, DOs and DONTs, wine culture I was considering back then overcomplicated nonsenses ... I was a sweet wine lover back then, my favourite was Pedro Ximenez's Nectar (I still love that wine, by the way) and called dry wines "sour", which made every wine lover cringe.
I shoot some wine testings, and that helped me see that wine is just a reason, (and a very enjoyable one) to spend time together, communicate, have fun.
Now I very much enjoy a good dry wine (Shiraz are my favourites), with a good company, some nice maturated cheese and raisins.
