That there are those among us, you've met them as have we, who assume that they know enough about a wine to chuck it in the bin after one go around. Quite pretentious and perhaps a little arrogant. There are a ton of reasons that can make a wine show poorly, from temperature and handling, to not so clean or soapy glassware. It could even be bottle or transportation shock, if you’re a believer in these phenomena. There is the possibility that the cork in that one bottle is to blame. There is even the possibility that one may have a bad palette day. Hey, it happens to the best of us. Ok maybe not us, but pretty much everyone else! It could even be the other way around when you were having a good pallet day or were having one of those magic tasting or drinking moments with food and friends, and the next time you go to the bottle of amazing wine to share it’s a big embarrassment as now you are wondering what you saw, er we mean tasted in this impostor.
