Is there anyway I could get the code to do that? For now, I just created a link in a pop up <a href="http://www.wine-4-beginners.com/WineTasting.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I am totally addicted and can't wait to get my wine for the wine club. Pretty soon, my site is going to look like a Vayniac fan club. I am a wino so I guess it's excusable. It just cracks me up. Ok, I am going to stop babbling now. Man, I wish I could embed this. Is there anyway I could get the code to do that? For now, I just created a link in a pop up here.

I would like to hear some of the basics and cannot seem to get them. Any ideas? Several episodes such as #42 and #125 (I think) will not work while others do.

I originally missed this one but I agree it's a classic and am glad you had MOTT, LINK IT UP. I've had many extended discussions with experienced wine tasters I highly regard and it's interesting to hear their perspective on tasting. Some hold a philosophy and process very close to what you described on this episode but I've encountered almost an equal number who describe their tasting technique differently. It may seem subtle but it's one that is quite different in the mechanics (and something you've referenced many times in later episodes). They split the palate into front, mid, and aft according to locations of flavors on the tongue and in the mouth. So they are using location of flavors as a differentiator as opposed to "time" as you did in this episode. As mentioned earlier, you have often referenced location in the palate but you generally use the term "focus" when you do so. Can you comment on this? By the way -- I'm a HUGE student of wine and exploring all aspects. Your show obviously exhorts the exploration of the wine world, so I was an immediate fan. BTW - heard you were coming our way (Winery at La Grange, VA) on 23 Aug -- can't wait!!!! Hey Gary,

But I don't swish the wine anywhere near what Gary does - but I always swallow the wine since I'm never tasting that many. Howvever at tastings I usually just swallow some and spit some. I also get nice and toasted - not on purpose but I hate to spit. And yes that's what she said. Informative.
