About 15 years ago, I had the pleasure of sampling an untasted wine. At the time I was working for a company called The Barn People. We had spent about 6 months dismantling a barn and repairing and restoring the frame. This is what we did at The Barn People. The frame was part of a contract to build a new winery in napa valley California. We busted our butt’s making sure that everything was right for this winery. As it turned out, the owner of the winery was extremely appreciative of all the work done and gave every employee of The Barn People a little bonus. He gave each of us a case of their premier wine. It was a red wine.
I decided to share my wine with my family. I brought it to Thanksgiving dinner along with a few other wine gifts including a Champagne to toast with. It was amazing. My previous experience with wines had been store bought, ten dollar a bottle wine, and I rarely drank wine. After tasting the wine from California, I finally understood what all the hullaballoo was about. It was sweet, it was delicious, everyone in my family enjoyed it. The experience showed me the difference between cheap wine and expensive wine.
