In other news, it rains, and I'm up to my ears in the writing-thing. It is a truth often denied, but writers are very boring when they're actually working.

how on earth do you learn all those terms for the wines?

Drink a lot. Read a lot. Talk to other drinkers/reviewers a lot.

And if you happen to work in a wine store, that helps, too. *wry g*

I caught "The Perfect Table" on NPR this afternoon as I was running around (actually driving through town at 65 MPH, very odd to have highways that run right through the city, but as a result, nearly everything is about 30 minutes away from me).

Josh Wesson's bit on Gruner Veltliner was very interesting, so I popped back to see what you'd tasted recently and was happy to see that you'd had some (but not the three bottles he reviews). If you're interested check out the summary of the reviews here:

I'm really tempted to go out and get some to see what it's like.
