I had no hair on my hands until I met Geoff from X Winery. Now, thanks Geoff for sharing, I'm looking forward to some ice fishing with my (not so) bare hands come this winter.
Thanks again, Geoff and Jen!! Cool Smile

we were at riedel, in kufstein, they have 2 stores there (one with 1 and second quality, one with 3 quality and selling out items)
in the first store there is a bar, were it's served tee, and coffee specialties and on this bar were in line 10 black riesling glasses with a cover on top.
in this riesling glasses were (if i remember it corectly) valrona chocolat, cinamon, a piece leather, vanilla, strawberry jam, pepper, cloves, huckleberry sirup, .....
my girlfriend identificate them ALL only by sniff at the glass with closed eyes!

this is what happens with some exercice,
and there is nothing to cackling.

Fantastic olfactory account, Tsunami. Your girlfriend seems to be quite well trained. Eek
(I have several jokes on this theme floating in my head, but I value you contribution too much and will not risk offending you in any way Smile )



There are plenty of exercises members of our cult can enjoy. Have you ever walked into someone's building and remarked on the Rioja scented carpets? I'm not suggesting someone was actually highly enthusiastic about newly released vintage of Rioja with dramatic consequences on the carpet, but the spice and orange zest that are cutting through layers of dragged in dirt, domestic dust and other ungodly crap.

I understand what your saying, and i'm not triing to bust your balls ,but the way it came out in translation was very funny. English is a very difficult language. I'm a native speaker and it's obvious that I struggle with it. I respect you and anyone that that has a second language,I don't.You made an excellent joke inadvertantly and thats a good thing.

Don't worry Grun, it's fall off as soon as your reunited with the wifey. Just don't shave it in between. Waxing is the only thing I've found to keep the wiskers from hurting. Razz

I struggle in it too! Let's we work and create new much with improvements the sofisticated foreign Engrich. Easy to communicate it to foreigners and other people to, like for tourist group - basics words and easy commands for situationals in travel. Like word "Stop!", or another word link "Who is your Father?!". My favorite word combination in Amerika was "Push button..". I forget what is happens when you obey this commandment.

Do you have considerered more other language studiment for any chance?

Joe, take that broom out of your arse, will you...

The sad thing is, you are a likeable guy. Too bad your head is competing with the broom.

Hello!

In my experience with flavor/aroma identification, of course, there is no wrong answer! One simple technique I've found is to close my eyes while nosing and tasting. Often times I'm trying too hard to narrow down a particular characteristic but, when I close my eyes, these 'flavors' become surprisingly quick and easy to recognise - like the answer to the obvious question! Try it!

You're absolutely correct! Closing my eyes helps me to concentrate and pinpoint particular flavor or a nuance.

Sorry for coming in so late to the class, teacher, but I've just had a couple of glasses of wine and I'm trying to catch up with the conversation and it is très amusement...this is the French class, oui?
