The last week of Spring wine tastings will focus on the ridiculous words that everyone wonders about. Words like lean, big, barnyard, cat’s pee, kerosene, sweaty and mousy.

It’s a big world of strange flavors out there in wine, which BTW may have upwards of hundreds of different chemicals in every sip. No wonder there are so many different words applied.

Oh, and one other one we should get to at this juncture: expensive. Yes, that is a word sometimes given to a wine, as in “this smells expensive”.

By this week, if you’ve been through the Spring Wine Nose Sundays, you should be both a pro and a ham at it!
