"People who say that they can't appreciate a great wine generally haven't tasted one"
"We shouldn't confuse the pleasure of being articulate about wine, of being able to describe the distinctive features of a wine, with the non-verbal ability of remembering what they are like, or of appreciating them without being able to say why"
