As to the topic of the coming meeting,have you ever heard of a popular Japanese manga series,"神之雫(The Drops of God)"? The story revolves around two brothers who compete to find the location of 12 legendary wines.The imagery used in the manga is what draws most people in.Instead of using very general and abstracting words like “bold, yet subtle”, "The Drops of God" uses unusual but vivid statements like,

“Just like a rock concert by Queen!” says one brother after taking a sip of 2001 Mont-Perat.
"Like walking in a quiet forest and being followed by two butterflies,” exclaims the other brother to describe the 2001 Musigny.

You may wonder if the taste of wine is really so fantastic;however,before you start the wine tasting,you should learn the etiquette first.We are glad to have Jessica as our host to share us the etiquette of wine tasting this coming Saturday.I believe it will be very interesting and worth learning.Please come and join us!

The meeting place will be Annie's place(台北市八德路二段312巷43號3樓 <大潤發對面>),so please arrive on time at 2 pm and
bring you own beverage and a wineglass.

Below is Jessica's invitation;please read it thoroughly.
 
Best Regards,
Vicky

   “The second class of socialization -wine tasting etiquette”

Why is wine so confusing? Does selection intimidate you? If yes, you are not alone!
How could we start to know wine and update the information in the right way?

In fact, learning wine tasting is just like learning English:“The more you have learned, the more you feel short of “.

So since both subjects have to be studied for our whole life, can we just take easy and make it slowly? The good news is you may have to study English for a long time and may pass or may not pass the examination ,but once you take “wine etiquette “,you will become a very educated person and after this class you could self-taught and explore the “wine world ” by yourself.

The subjects of my meeting are below, if you know them more than five items, please don’t come, go some happy place to have fun , otherwise, please come to make up your second socialization class of wine tasting etiquette”

*What is the difference between the old world wine and the new world wine?

*Why the French wine is so superior?

*Why the most people don’t have good experiences when they taste wine for the first time?

*Do you know it’s not necessary to have good drinking capacity and you don’t even have to swallow the wine when you are doing wine taste?

*How to hold the glass in a right position? How to fill up with wine? How to drink and taste the good flavor from glass?

*How to pick up good and reasonable wine without knowing the place of production or grape breed?

*Red wine with red meat isn’t a rule, white wine also could match beef cuisine.

 

P.s please bring any kind of glasses, such as red wine glasses ,white wine glasses,

Chapman glasses, tulip glasses, rock glasses or even the one you don’t know the correct name
