Do women approach wine differently?

It was no tirade, and you know it. I was flabbergasted that thge poster would actually 'ask' why she had a bad experience with goat cheese and Chianti Classico Riserva.

"Yes ma'm, your engine is dead. You have to keep oil in it. You say nobody told you this? That's a shame, ma'm, a real shame."

Unfortunately so. I was trying to taste some 40 whites at the vinothek in Bernkastel the other day - but the lady to my left side killed it. We had split in groups assessing the available wines. The others chose a Spätlese from Becker-Steinhauer (and if you have not heard about Karsten Becker, you will). The choice of my group was a Spätlese from Moselland, the cooperative. (sigh) Anders

So, you're saying too much perfume?

Anders,

Yes, the application of "good smell" is a real problem in semi-serious wine circles. I had a similar problem with a very nice lady, who attended several Burg tastings, and always wanted to sit at our table. We finally just got there early and filled the tables with people, who were less inclined to smell great. I even have an unscented shaving cream and after-shave balm for similar such instances.
