In order to qualify for the same, I had to maintain a 3.90 GPA. My student advisor made sure I took a jock course every semester so that I could ace that course and maintain my GPA. As such, I took courses such as art appreciation, music appreciation, etc. In one of my "modern culture" courses, I was thought how to taste wine. This is what I remember. You swivel the wine around in the glass to release the aromas. Then you take a sniff. Next you take a tiny sip. Then you announce, "Bold, but not too pretentious." This is done regardless of what the wine tastes like. The only people who will be impressed are those who have no education at all on wine. Mervyn3.0 PS. Forgive me for being petty but they have just released this years eggnog here in Toronto. I have not yet made up my mind if it is going to be a classic year (and the rum is already running low......) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
