2002 Knapp Chardonnay

[Kcwhippet]

Judy's talents boggle the mind. She claims to be just a wine drinker and either likes a wine or doesn't, but she's far from that. Though she doesn't try to break the taste down into components, she can recognize them if you mention what you're tasting in the wine, and over the years she's become able to verbalize a larger number of taste components on her own. Totally untutored, and doesn't want to be. She's really good on grape varieties, though. Last week I opened a 2002 Coffaro ZP2C, and without having seen the bottle she said it must be a Coffaro because she could taste a lot of different grapes. I wish I could do that.
