Sometimes I wish I had a “sophisticated palate.” You know, one of those with the discerning ability to be able to tell expensive food from cheap food or a good wine from bad wine. I don’t really drink. Maybe on occasion, I will have a glass of wine, but when I do, confession, I can’t tell one kind of white wine from another, although it seems I prefer the cheap stuff.
