When I fell in love with wine!

Before I turned 21 I would go to my Uncles parties in Texas.  I would meet people from Turkey, Paris, Japan and many more places around the world.  They would drink their wine and talk about the regions they brought it back from and what they found interesting about each wine.  They would also do this with the sake my Aunt would have her parents send from Japan.  When I finally turned 21 it was my turn to join in the conversations.  At this time my husband and I were dating and we would sit with them talking about the wine.  They would tell us about the vineyards they brought it back from, this really caught our attention.  We hope to someday travel to different vineyards around the world.  I think being young and watching these interesting people from all over the world got me intreged with the passion and love that they had for the wine.  I love trying wine from new regions from all over the world.  Even if they use the same grape you can still tell the difference in the taste, the earth has alot to do with the diffence in the taste from different regions.  The taste of a new wine is an exciting and fun adventure for me everytime.  To experience the sensation of differernt grapes from all around the world keeps the experience exciting.  The earth creates different tastes for every different region the wine comes from and I can't wait to experince these sensational wines in their region personally.

  1. It is fascinating your interest for wine. What makes wine made from the same vineyard taste different?

  2. Wine is very interesting. I use to be the wine girl at my restaraunt I enjoyed talking to people about the wine. When I turned 21 I wanted to try all kinds of wine. Unfortunately I found that I don't like wine. But it's great that you do and have this outlet for you to try different kinds.

  3. Wines can taste different when they are from the same vineyard because they grow different varieties of grapes for the wine and the age of wine effects the taste.
