Here is what amazes me, you step up to a winery and ask to taste there Cabernet from 3 different vintages and sure enough you can taste the difference in each of them. How about taking three Pinot Noirs at different price points from the same appellation pop open the corks and notice the differences. I love the fact that every bottle you drink tells a different story and transports you to what was going on in the vineyard at the time.
What is also amazing is that you can line up different bourbons, tequilas, (insert your favorite spirits) from different producers and price points and taste the differences. For so long I thought they all tasted the same. However, when you take the time to stop and truly taste you can tell all of the nuances you were missing. Lets be honest if everything tasted the same from each vintage year or within a certain price point what would the joy be of trying something new. So remember to always try something new you never know what you might find!
