Put Me In Coach
There is a guy that I know that knows as much about wine as I do underwater welding. He had heard that I passed the MW Theory exam from a mutual friend and said, "Theory? That's the easy part. Tasting. That's the hard part." Is it a bit galling to have a guy that doesn't know anything wash away my accomplishment on theory with a wave of the hand? Yes, but the real zinger is that he isn't wrong. Tasting is the harder part (though it's not like either side of it is a fucking cake walk). What I have been doing has not been working, so I'm sort of like a losing NFL coach standing at the podium saying things like "We are searching for answers.". I am tearing it down to build it back up. I have two obstacles that I need to overcome. The first one sounds self-evident, but that doesn't mean it's not something which doesn't need to be addressed. I need to taste better. If there is a note on a wine that I hear like on...
