What's the most important thing I should know about wine?

The most important thing is the passion. That's what it is about. Remember, what you like is not necessarily the best. That's communist propaganda to me. There's a better and more sinuous like: "What you recognise and can say I like it because it is the best one." You don't say: "Well, I like this wine." No. When you say: "I tasted it and I like it because...," it's sort of like a relationship. This person is very special because he is wonderful and thoughtful or the whole. You have to have a reason. With wine treated like an individual - there's a reason you like it. Ask yourself every time you taste a wine; "Do you like it?" No, I want to know why I like it. Always ask yourself that question; "Why do I like this?" And if you don't like it, don't bother taking testing notes. I've got to taste it, I don't want to know about bad experiences in my life. I keep records. I go to taste it, I write down the name of the wine, I taste it, I don't like it - It's a bad date. I move on. I like it. It smiles at me. It shows it's teeth to me. This is what you want to do.
