The thrill is gone...

I'm feeling that I'm loosing my taste of wine. During the past couple of weeks I've been drinking less. I haven't found wines that WOW me in a couple of month, even wines that I know and love.

Normally I open a bottle of wine and during the course of the night I finish it. But lately I kind of get bore with it.

I still enjoy reading and talking about wine...

Maybe I need a change of drink...(?)

It's normal for a person's palate to evolve. Many wines I enjoyed early on do not tickle my fancy any longer. Try different regions, different wines -- shake it up a bit. Get some Loire Sancerre, a nice 2001 CdP, an Alsace Gewurzt....

My advice is that you explore drinking wine with food.

Thrill may not be gone after all...

Tasted a Red Dust Shiraz 2003 last Thursday an a Jim-Jim Shiraz 2003 yesterday. Both Australians, around $10.00 each.

Both of them have nose of coffee, chocolate, and some tobacco.

Both dark and thick texture... Everything that I'm expecting from a wine...

Also tried a Chateau Los Boldos from Chile (Cabernet Savignon) that was more like a Cork Wine than a Grape Wine. It tasted like Cork. I put it aside to return to the vendor.
