Why does a person have to know anything about it to enjoy it? They don't. It either tastes good or it doesn't. No, there are shades between, above and below. I don't need to know what kind of flour the pasta is made of to enjoy a nice cacio e pepe or pappardelle ragu. You don't but some do, the nuances of life are colorful, enjoyable and interesting. |

It either tastes good or it doesn't. No, there are shades between, above and below. I agree. But you said good bourbon shouldn't be wasted on those whose palates are not sophisticated (or snooty?) enough to appreciate them, and I don't buy that. My son has a palate for beers, bourbons and Scotches that is world class. If someone walks past an aging barrel of Scotch with a pineapple, he can taste it in the booze a year later. He can talk of these notes and those notes in a tasting 'til the cows come home. I just know whether I love it, like it, it's OK, or it sucks. Neither opinion is more valuable than the other. |

I agree that knowing more about the terroir of wine, for instance, adds to my personal enjoyment of it for whatever reason.
But taste is taste, snobbery notwithstanding.

We had a below average grape harvest but a huge peach harvest. My wife will be making some peach wine, peach vinegar, peach... peach ... peach... I'll test the wine...  |

We have so many peaches, and they were all from one tree.

Enjoyed a bottle of RY3 from Virginia. Came in hot at 59.2%, but really liked it.

Our peach wine is stronger than the grape wine.

I think I'll stick to whiskey.

Was that one of AOCs talents?

I don't think AOC could crush a marshmallow with her bony ass.
