Today, on Phedippidations I\u2019m going to teach you three things, and I mean REALLY teach you\u2026you can\u2019t flunk this course, and if you already know something (or a lot of things) about wine, then consider this a refresher.\xa0 Our syllabus is as follows:\n\xa0\nIn the first chapter I\u2019ll tell you how to taste wine, nothing fancy: just the basics\u2026and I know you probably think this is intuitive, but tasting wine takes practice, as we\u2019ll discuss.\n\xa0\nIn the second chapter, I\u2019ll tell you three important wine terms that you need to know when talking about wine\u2026and finally\n\xa0\nIn the third and final chapter, I\u2019ll tell you three rarely used, high level terms and concepts that when used in the right situation, will make those who you are talking to, believe that you are on par with a master sommelier\u2026a wine expert\u2026in other words, just by using these phrases convincingly, you will gain \u201cwine cred\u201d.\n\xa0\nThe thing about wine is that it\u2019s really, just another thing in the universe to appreciate like music, art and nature.\xa0 In a way, this episode isn\u2019t about promoting the consumption of wine: I understand all too well that there are many of you out there who can\u2019t stand the taste of the stuff, and others who can\u2019t or won\u2019t drink it\u2026fair enough: but there\u2019s got to be something out there in this incredible universe you can experience on a deeper level.\xa0 I have many passions, running is just one of them\u2026and so is the topic of wine.\n\xa0\nBut there\u2019s much more to wine, than just wine\u2026it\u2019s a topic that\u2019s complex and vast covering thousands of years of human history and a globalization that has changed the way that millions of people consume and experience it.\xa0 You need not be a wine expert to have an opinion about wine\u2026you just need to know a few basic concepts and have a willingness to be open to the experience of wine, from the vineyard to the bottle and the glass. Wine is for geeks, wine is for experts wine is for newbies.\n\xa0\nLinks:\n\xa0\nWine for Newbies Podcast: \n\xa0\nMelodious advice by Neil on Twitter @neilbearse\xa0\n\xa0\nBoth opening and closing themes songs were by Jim Fidler at .\n\xa0\nThe song - \u201cOut of Promises\u201d was another track off the new album \u201cA Raven Has My Heart\u201d by Black Lab at \n\xa0\nFitBit at .\n\xa0\nIntervals between episodes can be found at \n\xa0\nIn Vino Veritas with at \n\xa0\nONLY IF YOU LIKE IT: (But really, PLEASE, only if you can afford it!)
