Wine

Some people find talking about wine "pretentious" - a fruity nose and a vanilla finish, anyone? Flavours and aromas are hard to describe - and often go unnoticed. For raising the awareness (and enjoyment), having a checklist helps - this one surfaced in the studio purge.
When you next drink a glass of white wine - does it smell/taste like grapefruit, grassy, herbaceous, asparagus, cut grass, pine needles, mushrooms, forest floor [hope not], pear, peach, granny smith apples, melons, citrus, oak, lemons, lime juice, bananas, pineapples, butterscotch, honeysuckle, slate/minerals, musty, wet cardboard...

And for your glass of red - blackcurrant, tea leaf, blackberry, cassis, cedar, cherry, cigar box, eucalyptus, mint, oak, peppermint, tobacco, vanilla, liquorice, pepper, plum, raspberry, chocolate, leather, barnyard {ahem}, raisin, violet, spice.
