 I tasted the wine after the

 I tasted the wine after the session (a little nervous, recently having turned 21, I had never had wine before...)

But after watching Wil's presentation and understanding better the anatomy and physiology of both the human tongue/ taste receptors and the grapes, I knew I had to try it. 

The idea of so many different variables changing the wine one way or another, of the temperature and the climate and the degree days, to create a complex bouquet-- it's absolutely amazing. 

On that same train of thought, here is a link to a Japanese manga (a comic book) that has won awards and has been serialized by several different newspapers and magazines. It is all about wine, about how it changes and grows, the science of its taste and flavor, of the people that devote their lives to it. It's a wonderful piece of art and I highly recommend it.
