If you follow any #Winelovers from France, you would have known that every one of them was in Paris this weekend, tweeting and talking about "Le grand Tasting"...
Everyone ? No ! Not me. And I'm sure you are all wondering but WHY ?
You know, I really just hate being in a crowd of people who don't know anything about wine. I also hate being surrounded by a mass number of debutants, speaking loudly and who are there to taste wine without even wanting to know anything about it.
Lastly, I most especially hate when half of them show no respect for the wine they are tasting and gulp it back as opposed to spitting it into designated spittoons-thats when you find yourself in an overcrowded swimming pool of hot an smelly drunk people.
Wine Neophytes : "People who know nothing about wine and only drink it to appear interested, or interesting".
And you know ?
When there are so many regions and too many wines, how can you really appreciate it ? And who really wants to go to a fair where both beaujolais and wine from Languedoc are being represented ?
A real wine lover only drinks the most prestigious labels!
My dear newbie, though it may be quite suitable for you, even this fair it's not up to my standards...
But do try to remember, be as pretentious as you can and only try Champagne and Bordeaux.
Bettanne et Dessauve are quite good at tasting so also try to participate in one of their master classes.
It's a hard job to be a wine snob, but work hard and maybe, just maybe, one day you will succeed...
