“The goal in tasting wine is not to "find" the same aromas and flavors some other taster is describing. If you hone your own perceptual abilities and develop the vocabulary to articulate them, you'll not only derive more pleasure from the wine itself, but also stimulate better communication between you and the friends who are sharing the bottle.” IfsGoalAbilityPleasureCommunicationWineBottlesVocabularyFlavorDescribingTastingAroma Author:Marvin Shanken
“Cuban cigars are an acquired taste, like Scotch whisky. If you're not used to them, you'll get a headache, you'll find them much too strong. But to a cigar connoisseur, a longtime smoker, if you have a well-made, well-aged one, there is nothing like a Cuban cigar. Getting them is the ultimate mission; any cigar lover would do anything” IfsWellsMadeUsedStrongLoversTasteUltimateMissionsHeadacheCigarCubanScotchWhiskySmokersConnoisseurAcquired TasteScotch WhiskyCuban Cigars Author:Marvin Shanken
