"We're hoping for a really smooth wine here."

Ned Thompson, unpretentious wine taster.

'Savage little brute, isn't it?'

'Yeah, I think it has too much tannin, too.'

'Mmm...it's got a good nose on it.'

'Smells all right to me, but then everything smells alright to me.'

"I'm getting red fruits, earth tones, and oak. Amen."

'Frank, it's water.'

'It's very 'woody'...'

'Fruity nose, hints of wild cherry, soothing & gelatinous on the palate, goes well with cough and cold.'

'I'm doing a wine tasting course, it's fascinating. . .'

'Ironically, before I fell on hard times, I was a professional wine taster.'

Man says: 'It's got quite a nose ... I'm getting notes of nutmeg, a whiff of autumn harvest and rain-sodden undergrowth, and with a tart, elderberry finish. Not bad for a urine sample, eh Doc?'

"I'm getting a lot of burnt notes."

"Hmm, this cheeky little red just stamped on my toes, poked me in the eye, kicked me in the nuts and said 'get a life, you sad git'."

"Hmm, this wine is a lot like my wife; well aged but still bitter."

"Don't be in such a hurry! The wine needs time to breathe."

"It's disappointing, but if that's the biggest you've got ..."

"Hmm, over-oaked chardonnay! My kind of wine!"
