My husband likes wine, but he doesn’t love it the way that I do. Whereas I have seldom met a wine I didn’t enjoy tasting, he is prone to labeling my wine choices—especially those from France—as “thin and sour.”
This took me several years to figure out. He isn’t a bad taster. He often identifies subtle flavors in a wine before me. But it turns out that being able to correctly identify a wine’s characteristics isn’t necessarily the same as liking the wine!
The difference between us is that we are looking for different things.
