										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Should a wine be tasted and judged on its own or with food?<br />
I was out with a friend last night. A friend who happens to also be a wine importer of mainly US wines into Norway.<br />
He had given me a bottle of wine to taste a few days earlier. A wine which some critics, outside Norway, give high marks to. I tasted it, and didn&#8217;t like it.  My feedback to him was that it smelled too much of yeast (as if the wine had too much stirring of the lees) and lacked that freshness I came to expect from the varietal in question.</p>
<p>On the palate, I also found the wine to be too thin and lacking acidity. Overall, a boring wine which I could not force myself to consume the entire bottle of.</p>
<p>His goal was to figure out what it was about the wine that i didn&#8217;t like.  He went on to say that I was supposed to enjoy the wine with Scallops. This got me thinking.<br />
I am a firm believer that wine should be enjoyed with food. This being said, is it wrong to judge a wine solely on its own merits?<br />
Personally, I feel that wine is best judged on its own, then paired with the proper food. Any good quality wine will work with food if the right dish is chosen. But a wine which I find to be of inferior quality, or that I just don&#8217;t like, that happens to work well with lets say scallops, isn&#8217;t a wine for me- even if the critics don&#8217;t always agree.</p>
