Since the day I tried my first wine and I am referring to the first glass I drank, and not to that I have a wine propio…. I knew that this was going to become my drink choice especially for comidas big and special dinners.
What would a meeting around a table, without to provide with a glass of good wine in your hand? It would be missing something, really!
I must confess that my knowledge on the subject are quite rare, but always have called me the attention, the attitude and the vocabulary that use the experts to express themselves, and of them I have tried to learn, even the basics to buy themserve them and enjoy them.
But of course, if you like the wine and you want to delve more into this world, it is necessary to soak up a little in your bibliography, and be able to discover this fascinating world, full of wonderful curiosities.
My recommendation is to start with a guide to the wine for clumsy, easy and simple, like this which has made David Noel Ghom, "De la Cepa a la Copa" .
In it you can gradually discover worldwide oenology, on the basis of a historical approaches, where discovered us things as interesting as the origin of the wine, as apparently comes from the vitis vinifera species which has its source in the South of the Black Sea between the Georgia and Armenia areas. Or that the first drunk of the story is collected in the old testament in reference to the vineyards that Noah planted on the ship.
After this the book offers a Decalogue on the different types of wine and its classification (by upbringing or sweetness times). (On the main grapes and varieties both white and inks).
It explains in a simple and graphic way the process of the grape harvest and wine-making (the manufacturing process that have different types of wines), and the process of filling.
Teaches us how we have to read the label and the against label. As hit the purchase (to buy, where, when, as). And gives clues to know as it must open up and aerate the wine, and after this, such as keeping it open once.
You will also find out where and have to serve it, as we have to taste it, and finally, one of the things that I liked, the rules of pairing. That is to say that wines stick with that dish and why.
To that ever you would have imagined that a fish could be combined with a red, or that a meat cooking with a white? Then if. Cannot be taken a red wine with a fatty fish and fleshy type salmon, tuna or COD, although this must be young and League. And the white wine can be taken with white meat type chicken, rabbit and pork.
