Tannins, Bouquets and Other Wank
As apart of my course, one of the units we study is Food & Beverage fundamentals. Naturally this is one of the most interesting units due to all the ‘practical’ activities we get to do. Today was wine, cheese and schnapps.
We can now swirl a glass of wine, talk about the bouquet, it’s tannins (and hot legs! - a personal joke between me and uh.. none of the readers), and the flavours we taste in each of the wines. Admittedly, most of us can still only taste “Red…?” or “White..!” - but at least now we know enough terminology to bullshit our way through fancy restaurants and special occasions.
I do love a nice glass of wine… but there is often so much unnecessary wank involved!

The only way I can tell it’s “white” wine or “red” wine is by the color. One of these days it’s going to bite me in the ass, I can feel it. Won’t be able to bullshit my way through that one

I’m not a big wine person mainly because I think it tastes like vinegar. But there are a few types of red wine that I like. You’re class is very multi-national! Me like =D

I think this class will be useful for when you enter high society.

Haha. I’m not a fan of wine… so that cuts out all the unnecessary wank for me!

Unfortunately ours is actually the least multi-national class! They seem to have put all the international students in the same class (I think due to language issues). My class has one Vietnamese girl and one guy from Dubai. The rest are all Australians.
