Wine should give you pleasure – there is no point in drinking wine if it does not. Lately, I have had a number of samples of American wines that were delicious standouts – one after another, making me even wonder if someone cursed my palate. I enjoyed all those wines so much that I decided to designate a new series to them – the American Pleasures.
And we are back to talk about more delicious American wines (after a long and unintended break).
I love how wine not only entices your senses but lets you play a sleuth, a researcher, a scientist, a philosopher – a different role on a different day, or all of them at once – take your pick.
I can give it to you right now [spoilers alert]: I got a sample of three California wines, one better than another, one of them possibly even WOTY 2023 (told ya, spoilers) – and ended up doing the whole research (thanks, Google) trying to connect layers one by one. From the roles I mentioned above, I played mostly a sleuth trying to understand how far history was taking me and how all the little pieces fit together. Ah, never mind, let’s just get to it.
