OK, I'm a novice to wines, just beginning to learn about the whole process,
history and business of wine. Wine enthusiasts use language to describe the
taste of wine such as melon, pear, pineapple, blackberry etc etc etc, my
question is ( and excuse my ignorance) how can a grape taste like a pear, or
a strawberry or a peach or any other thing except a grape. A peach does not
taste like a banana. So, whats up with this fruity language. Can a grape
really taste like a pear? Am I to believe that a grape is so magical that it
takes on as if by some mysteriuous transfiguration that flaver of other
things for no apparent reason. Thanks
