Kent Bach quotes
-
“People who say that they can't appreciate a great wine generally haven't tasted one”
-- Kent Bach -
“Most wine knowledge does not directly enhance the pleasures to be had in drinking wine but, rather, enhances one's ability to discover such pleasures”
-- Kent Bach -
“Yes, expertise puts on in position to have further, cognitive pleasures, but these pleasures are distinct from the sensory pleasure of tasting wines”
-- Kent Bach -
“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”
