sakon76Lesson of the day: wines.
That feeling as much as a taste of iron, that sense of something dragging across your tongue as you take a drink? That is the tannins in the wine. If you let red wine breathe, the tannins lessen. It is also like with salsa (a substance with which I am much more familiar than wine): after you make the salsa, you give it a day or two to blend, to mellow. It is the same with new wines. You give them a few years to mellow the tannins.
I have learned something.
I have no clue what we were drinking with dinner, but I learned something.
