: "They smell fruity but not taste fruity" Blindfolded and nose completely blocked: 1) Can one tell the difference between high alcohol bone-dry white and dry gin? Answer: no. 2) Which of the two would you say is fruit juice: a) ripe pineapple juice - nothing added, nothing taken away, b) ripe pineapple juice - with every trace of natural sweetness removed. Answer: 'a'---right? Conclusion: A fruity wine with its natural sweetness retained smells and tastes fruity. A fruity wine vinified bone-dry is like fruity shampoo only smells fruity. We don't equate pure mango juice with mango-flavoured mineral water do we? Ray interesting analysis, however, I don't drink fruit juice, it is too sweet I do drink dry white wines and enjoy the subtle aromas and tastes that they bring including the mineralness of say a Chablis. Try getting that kind of subtlty out of your pinapple. -- Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations http://www.josephcoulter.com/ |

Raymond typed: Blindfolded and nose completely blocked: 1) Can one tell the difference between high alcohol bone-dry white and dry gin? Answer: no. Blindfolded and nose completely blocked you can hardly tell the difference between any two drinks or foods, unless the texture gives it away. Even with just blindfolding and not blocking the nose, most people can't tell the difference between coca-cola and ginger ale. -- Ken Blake Please reply to the newsgroup |
