Some things are hot. Really hot.

Trendy hot. Like nouveau wine connoisseurs. It takes time to develop one's own tastes, but in this hurry-up quick and dirty peer pressure world, people try to seem in tune with taste. If merlot is the buzzword in the press, then merlot is what the nouveau drinker will order even though he or she may not really like it. It is sort of a reverse cultural prejudice; white wine only with fish and red with only red meat. Common sense would say that if you like a vintage or style, go for it! Forget convention, be yourself. Why try to fit your own taste into some critic's opinion.

A wine tasting dinner at a good local restaurant is your best bet to develop your own personal tastes in the field of wine.

It's been real. Come back again. Bye.
