I drink to make other people interesting.

slightly true. This cheery bartender helped me choose a good wine with just a a few words, "this is good"

Snoqualmie Riesling Naked
Wine Review: This light yellow colored Riesling opens with a mild pineapple bouquet with a touch of iced tea. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and very easy to drink. The flavor profile is a tasty iced tea with a hint of lemon and cantaloupe. The finish is semi-sweet and very pleasant.

who comes up with these descriptions? Have you ever tasted a mild pineapple bouquet?
It doesn't help that wine reviewers are sometimes drunk, making their perception even less reliable.

Wine improves with age. The older I get, the better I like it. - Anonymous
