After reading the latest Wine Spectator article by Matt Kramer, I couldn't help but share with my readers. The article makes the point that in order to have a good palate, you don't necessarily need to be able to identify wines blind or know the most about wine.
"Judgment and insight are the hallmarks of a good palate. Everything else is a technicality."
The cool thing is that experience will give you both judgement and insight if you allow the wine to tell you about itself. I tend to try not to read the descriptors on the bottle when I'm tasting because they can alter your perception of the wine. Instead, I just use my 4 S's and experience the wine that way. As you taste more wine, the differences and little nuances of each wine will float to the surface and your palate will develop.
Keep tasting!
