CHEF HESTON BLUMENTHAL EXPLAINS HOW TO MAKE ANY GLASS OF WINE TASTE BETTER
The trick, as explained during an “experiment” by the British chef, is to take a sip of wine while “picturing someone I love dearly.”
Then, a second sip should be taken while imagining someone you really dislike.
The difference is “marked” according to the chef’s dining partner, who found “in the second there’s a bitter taste not apparent in the first.”
According to Blumenthal, the explanation for the taste variations is the connection between a person’s stomach and memory - which he discovered in his exploration of the “significance of the relationship between the brain and the gut” alongside the University of Marseilles.
“It might be the single greatest discovery that I’ve ever made,” the imaginative chef said.
(Strange, Ole Martin Alfsen told me this years ago when he was teaching WSET at "The Gastronomic Institute")

Ikke akkurat «dagens vin», men heller om kanskje 10 år når innholdet er modent for konsum.
Jo, det er Legacy Edition. Kom tilfeldigvis over et svært begrenset parti på Gardermoen i slutten av oktober, altså lenge før polslippet for et par uker siden.Nice! Fikk ordnet meg Churchill i går selv. Men hvordan fikk du tak i DP’en? Det er vel ikke Legacy’en det der?
