The Language of Wine,

[Chance1234]

ok, so there is the obvious.

Sweet, dry etc etc

Then moving up a notch,

Rich, Full bodied , Oaketc etc

Then there is the plain daft

Cheeky, Oaked, etc etc

I mean what is a cheeky wine ? does it pull faces when you are not looking ? and who here spends their time licking oak furniture ?

Tis is certantly daft if you ask me.

And it's an excuse to have people like Oz Clarke & Jilly Goulden on TV !!!!!!!

Cheeky in my book would mean the stuff literally slaps you in the face ... ie very young (newly bottled) or just an overdose of the old anti-freeze !!!!!!

If you've ever tasted chardonnay, I don't see how you could question the use of words like "Oaky." I personally don't like chard because it has too much oak flavor for my taste. But I love bourbon? Go figure.

Andrea Immer (the worlds first female Master Sommlier) wrote an excellent book called 'Great Wine Made Simple'. She discusses a standardized terminology and suggests tastings to understand what each term means.
