It’s the Little Things

Serving wine is harder than slurping it. No matter how terrific the place, the staff, and the wine we’re slurping these three things put a damper on my tasting experience:

  1. The server nor the wine list should tell me what a wine smells or tastes like before I’ve had the chance to decide on my own.
  2. White wine should not be served ice cold–how am I deduce the above?
  3. Water should not come with ice cubes and/or garnish unless requested. The point is no flavor.

Petty? Not meant to be. Just three little pet peeves that I usually forget after the first few sips anyway.
