Glad it was helpful!

Loved this,,,,,

[@MT-gv8ns]

I noticed evaluating aroma Intensity has been added; which makes perfect sense. Could we expect a scale such as what is used for body, tannin, acidity, etc. be added to a future version of the Wine Journal?

[@winefolly]

I kinda put it into the the section on aroma, but yeah, that's a consideration. THanks for the input!

[@tinytexan4029]

I love everything about your Great Room.

[@TheSoteriologist]

Thanks for the breathing technique, BTW. Just picked out more plum from my Negroamaro.

[@tinytexan4029]

Could you do a tasting on Texas Hill Country wines? Specifically Tempranillo.

[@laurencestewart3828]

I never knew I had a "retro-nasal passage", thank-you for activating it!

[@brite_luddite]

It's a thing with cigars. I've tried it with bourbon and it's a thing there as well. Guess I need to do it with wines as well.

[@duncanodea4928]

And this one time, at wine camp .....

[@robertdailey7248]

It would be nice if you’d compared this to one or two Burgundy whites, such as a Chablis and one from further south. I usually avoid California Chardonnay because the weather is too hot, the grapes are harvested too late,. This leads to an unbalanced wine with a lot of fruit and little mineral. And the alcohol content is usually too high. Chardonnay from Washington is far better, if you want a domestic option.

[@winefolly]

That is the generalization here, but I would say that's increasingly not the case. You'll find some very progressively cooler climate styles coming from coastal California regions where the growing season is as cool as Burg. Additionally, I would say that Oregon is another great US place to check out for lower alcohol, minerally styles. Washington state is hotter than Oregon!

[@narrowistheway77]

Big body comes with orange wine with regards to the whites 😉

[@winefolly]

Definitely a good point there. And tannin

[@antares2767]

[@armoredsaint6639]

Ok….I’m just going to say it……This might be the wine talkin but…..I really like your hair long….Dang girl!….lol

[@jaywalker8309]

THE COLOR ON YOUR HAIR DOES NOT MATCH YOUR SKIN COLOR GO FOR LIGHT BROWNS

[@winefolly]

of all the all caps messages I could receive, this one seems the most constructive! It's true that my hair is light brown naturally, but it's so boring. Maybe pink would be better?

[@daveclinton4945]

YOUR HAIR AND SKIN ARE ALL WRONG. AND YOUR VOICE. (Just kidding I'm a massive fan! ✌)
