Comments on: How cooking improves your wine tasting abilities https://sazinthecellar.com/2013/08/18/how-cooking-improves-your-wine-tasting-abilities/ Wine appreciation and enjoyment Wed, 01 Jan 2014 23:05:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Roger https://sazinthecellar.com/2013/08/18/how-cooking-improves-your-wine-tasting-abilities/#comment-89 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 13:16:37 +0000 http://sazinthecellar.com/?p=1218#comment-89 Totally agree, Steve. You can enjoy wine without cooking but you taste wine when you learn to cook. Our grocery stores are dumbing down food. We go to the grocery to buy oregano or thyme, paprika, etc. When you cook, you learn there are dozens of varieties of each of these and not just one as we find in the grocery. Those nuances in different types of the same plant or product heightens our senses and we can better appreciate the smells and tastes in wine.

Suddenly we become more thoughtful about everyday smells. Soon we start tasting things that we never thought about tasting, like a piece of pine wood or lead. When we expand our senses we really appreciate the nuances of wine.

BTW, I attended a wine dinner last night. Most of the wines, by themselves were not memorable or even desirable. However, the pairing with food was outstanding and suddenly a wine that I would never consider drinking became a favorite, but it requires the right foods to make it shine.
