Let the shop pour you three and take home the one you would never have picked

“Admitting you do not know what you like in front of someone who clearly does is uncomfortable. It is the fastest way to stop buying the same bottle for ever.”

The Recipe

  1. Go to the nearest independent shop that pours: wine, sake, cider, whatever they take seriously.
  2. Tell them honestly what you usually drink and ask for three tastes that are nothing like it.
  3. Buy the one that threw you most, not the one that was easiest, and drink it that night paying attention.
