I love the tip about seasoning your glassware!
Maximizing the potential of any wine, no matter the cost or the rating, requires some thought and a little attention to detail. Think of it this way: You can buy a delicious heirloom tomato at the farmers market and serve it unadorned and have a wonderful taste sensation. Or you can sprinkle it with salt, drizzle a few drops of aged balsamic vinegar, dress it with a sprig of fresh basil and take that already tasty tomato to another level. 1. Use a good glass. 2. Always decant. 3. Season your glassware. Pour a small amount of wine into the first glass and swirl until the inside of the bowl is thoroughly coated. Then pour that wine into the next glass and repeat the process. Then on to the third glass and the fourth. Dump the leftover wine from the glass into a dump bucket or down the sink. You can season a decanter in the same manner.
