If you are like me, you love to discover new wines, and the only issue is how to find the ones you like.
Let’s say I’m shopping for red wine. I go to the shop and think ok I’m in the mood for something fresh, not too heavy aka very drinkable.
Which you can translate as:
high acidity
low to medium tannins
fruit flavours
Red wine that matches this profile could be young Zinfandel or Beaujolais (Gamay grape). I know that these are not the only wines that match the pattern; there is much more to it. But it’s just an example.
There is a set of upcoming articles coming where I will talk a little bit more about each aspect of tasting and buying a wine based on your preferences.
