Wine For Pleasure
The essential thing to be borne in mind about wine is that it is something made to be enjoyed. The pleasure it gives is the only ultimate test of any vintage. The corollary of this is that, like all the good works of men, its pleasure is greatly enhanced by knowledge and experience ... .. . Build round the central fact of the dinner wine—add a glass of port after, or a glass of sherry before the meal; choose a slightly more interesting main wine. Choose your friends from people of similar tastes, and when you entertain them build more ambitiously. Ensure that the food, however sparse and simple, shall be what will enhance the wine and not destroy it. These are the foundations on which the restoration of good living can be built. —Evelyn Waugh “On Wine.”
