Supplemental Post - Leftovers

(not for grade)

This is a follow-up to the previous two wines I tasted: the Ca'Stella Friuli Latisana Pinot Grigio and Poggiotondo Chianti Superiore. Since this blog is going to live on beyond the end of class in a few weeks, I wanted to comment on how they tasted the next day. As we learned in class, modern wines tend to be just fine for a day or two after opening, as long as they don't sit and get air for too long. In fact, I didn't detect any difference in the Pinot Grigio at all. The Chianti, like the leftover spaghetti I drank it with, was as good or better the second day. So there's my first leftover wine experience for the blog. A year or two or more from now I wonder how these early reactions to wine will seem to me. Naive, perhaps, but what else should I expect from myself, being a novice?
