| Dufteindrücke olfactory impressions Explanation: Now, the thing that triggered this pathetically mundane memory was the initial smell of the Tedeschi Valpolicella (yes, I am finally writing about the wine now). Olfactory impressions often trigger memories, and the olfactory impressions of wines are no exception. (Even though there is the line made by some dolt that goes, “I forget the girl, I forget the place, but the wine was Chambertin.”). Reference: http://www.rivercitycellars.com/staffpicks/peter/ |
