It happened – I’m that guy. I swirl my reds and check for reduced or oxidized aromas. I decant, I airate, I chill. I don’t spit because that’s too French, but I might use some ortho and retro-nasal breathing to detect aromas. I arrange my wines by tannin strengths and ask about fermentation processes in…

I can’t believe it’s already here! I don’t know what to expect besides lots of pastries and even more things to see and learn. I’m excited to get to know everyone and come home with some new friends and lots of stories too 🙂
