Haven't read the entire article, thanks for posting!
I took a wine class several years back. I forgot one of our sessions was being taped. I was having some fun while we were tasting a red, and I said something like "the presence of cherries is strong", and there were other comments.
One frustrated classmate said she wasn't getting any of it, to which I replied, "I was only kidding. My taste buds are only telling me they like it, and that's good enough for me!" lol
When I apologized to the professor for ruining the tape, he laughed and said, "you delivered the best lesson tonight: it's all about whether or not YOU enjoy the wine, nothing else matters."
Best $150 I ever spent, learned a lot about wines around the world, and came to know Lost Oak Winery in Burleson (for a class project), where I've been a member for over 3 years.
ETA: I cannot be "wineshamed". In fact, it would be a mistake for a "connoisseur" to try it. As a "grizzled veteran" of over 50 winefests in Germany (Mosel River), I can spin tales about German wine and their great producers at the drop of a hat. I've also had friends from California visit, and they were favorably disposed towards the wines produced at Lost Oak, many which have won awards in San Francisco.
