Another Tasting Question

[cheeps]

Thanks everyone - I guess I just need to take more time and learn more. I just thought that maybe there might be certain markers to look for that would really differentiate one wine from another so as soon as you tasted/smelled it, a light would go off and bingo! you knew what you were drinking immediately.

I attended another tasting last night and was very happy with the selections. They had 3 whites and 3 reds this time. I was able to pick out the vanilla, toasty oak, and creaminess of the chardonnay they offered, I could pick out the Grenache distinctly from the other 2 reds they had, and I tasted a Cabernet Franc for the first time - altho I couldn't say much about that one from just the one taste of it. They had a wonderful Merlot and I could really taste the "chocolate" in the finish for the first time. This is just too much fun!
