How to Judge a Good Wine
“Think about this: wine is always judged in little sips. It’s always been about wine tasting. The bouquet, how it looks in the glass. They even spit it out afterwards. They spit it out! But what happens after a full bottle? What’s the effect over a night? You can admire an ocean from the beach—but to love it you have to swim out. Pike knew that. Drank European vintages to oblivion, logged their behaviors, met with their gods.”
