“The connoisseur does not drink wine but tastes its secrets.” – Salvador Dali
Salvador Dali said it best with this quote. Who among us has ever tasted a wine which slowly reveals itself and all its intricacies over time. The prominent surrealist Catalan painter must have been no stranger to wine as Spain is one of the most prestigious winemaking country in the world (of course first place goes to Italy!)
A fine wine is noted by its aromas and flavors, but you must be a good listener in order to fully comprehend what secrets a wine has to tell. Depending on age, process, grape variety and terroir, a wine can have dozens of aromas to share. This is an art form in and of itself and its no wonder such a great artist would notice the masterpiece which lies within a wine!
A toast to Dali! May we discover the secrets of a Brunello di Montalcino as he would have wished us to.
