The wine tasting

After hearing me praise the wine at my step-grandfather’s house and the wine at the Blue Chips party, my uncle decided to test me by allowing me to choose a $30 bottle of wine, while he chose a $10 dollar bottle of wine, and seeing if I could taste the difference. Both of the wines were Californian Cabernet Sauvignons. He poured some wine into six glasses, and I was supposed to identify which wine was the more expensive one.

Needless to say, I failed. I identified two out of six glasses, which put me into the “slightly dumber than a monkey” wine tasting category. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between the two wines. However, I am convinced that more expensive wines are better than less expensive ones. Perhaps we just didn’t buy one that was expensive enough.
