First tasting

[Cadell]

Ok, went to my first wine tasting this evening, which was (C)Champagnes.

Only one name I remember to be honest with you, is one called Henriot or something like that.

Think I may have irritated some of the folk there with my basic and "newbie" descriptions of these beverages.

I said the first one(Henriot or the like)reminded me of a berry flavored sweet tart(and it did dangit, hung around on the sides of my tongue forever).

Then I said the "yeast" smell and flavor of another one, reminded me more of wood, and stickin a twig in my mouth...guess it wasn't the prettiest description(could tell by the look on some faces) but hey, I'm new and I thought I was supposed to say what I got from it.....

Shoulda I justa keept me mouth shut?

Anyway, bottom line, no offense to those who like it, but I decided other than special occasions, it ainta for meee taste. An if I feel like bubbly in the meantime, I'll blow bubbles in me Zin with a straw.
