Your most sensitive taste sensor is the tongue. It is made up of thousands of tiny taste buds that are shaped like a mushroom, a stem with a cap that overhangs on top. As you eat, your taste buds trap food between the stem and the cap, blotting out the bud's ability to taste. Your taste buds get overloaded and thus, the food seems to lose its flavor. Wine's naturally high acidity cleanses those taste buds better than anything else. Wines referred to as "food wines" tend to have a higher acidity, making them too tart to drink on their own. That acidity cleanses the palate and prepares it to accept the next bite of food. tag:blog.vinoduo.com,2011-08-23:11444750 Zionsville Dining http://www.stonecreekdining.com/ 2011-08-23T20:24:44Z 2011-08-23T20:24:44Z Thanks for the overview related to Spanish wines. I too am always interested in learning more about wines and appreciate the chance to increase my knowledge. Oddly enough, my wife and I just enjoyed a bottle of Spanish sparkling wine last night! tag:blog.vinoduo.com,2011-08-17:11375838 What to do in Chicago http://www.choosechicago.com/ 2011-08-17T20:38:04Z 2011-08-17T20:38:04Z Recently a friend and I made a trek through northern Illinois and the Chicago area doing some wine tasting. I was surprised by the number of great wineries in the area. I would recommend you do the same sometime if you are in the area. tag:blog.vinoduo.com,2011-07-08:11164170 Rebecca 2011-07-09T00:06:26Z 2011-07-09T00:06:26Z Such a nice event. It was a pleasure to get to taste such fine wines. I also like that someone had to the mind to get a <a href="http://www.americanpavilion.com/">tent rental</a> since that sun was extremely hot that day, even towards the end of the evening. A pleasure-fill day for sure! tag:blog.vinoduo.com,2011-03-22:6151207 seafood restaurant http://www.redlobster.com/ 2011-03-22T17:07:42Z 2011-03-22T17:07:42Z Going to North Fork sounds like a lot of fun with wine tasting and historical bed and breakfasts. There must be other historical homes as well to just walk around and see. I can't wait to try out your wine suggestions you mentioned. You both have a very interesting life working together the way you do. tag:blog.vinoduo.com,2011-03-10:5668891 Mozius http://gointravel.com/ 2011-03-10T07:22:10Z 2011-03-10T07:22:10Z Great insight, great article, and thanks for sharing it. <br />How to subscribe on your blog ??? tag:blog.vinoduo.com,2011-03-08:5609848 restaurants in Buckhead http://www.seasons52.com/locations/buckhead2.asp 2011-03-08T11:23:32Z 2011-03-08T11:23:32Z Combining wine and the beach setting would be wonderful for a mini vacation as you had, even though it rained. It looks like they were prepared with tents which was smart. The wine list is spectacular, thanks.<br /><br />Rose S. tag:blog.vinoduo.com,2010-11-18:3988990 Catering Indianapolis http://www.stonecreek-catering.com/Content/About-Us.aspx 2010-11-18T23:24:15Z 2010-11-18T23:24:15Z I have had the 2005 Mendel Unus Mendoza and it was delicious. It is hard to find a wine that combines both blackberry and blueberry and not be overpowering. I always get at least a case when I am in the area.<br /> -Terri tag:blog.vinoduo.com,2010-11-18:3988972 Charbonos http://www.charbonos.com/ 2010-11-18T23:12:29Z 2010-11-18T23:12:29Z What wine can you recommend for someone who likes the sweet wines? I am going to be in the area soon and would like to stop by and have a tasting. Sounds like a nice place to visit.<br /> <br /> -Timba tag:blog.vinoduo.com,2010-10-01:3696044 Nathan http://www.tryingwine.com 2010-10-02T02:03:18Z 2010-10-02T02:03:18Z My wife and I have tried [yellow tail] and Woodbridge wines. I'm guessing these were not the best first impressions on wine.
