		<description><![CDATA[Some people seem to possess extraordinary abilities in smelling and tasting the multitude of aromas and flavors in wine; they are often referred to as “expert tasters” or “supertasters” because they are ostensibly endowed with an extremely discerning nose and palate.

		<description><![CDATA[Ah! Those bad sulfites; they’re such an easy target. What else can people blame for headaches after drinking red wine? After all, there is even a regulation that requires the mandatory mention contains sulfites on all wine sold in the U.S. So there must be some health concerns with sulfites. But why is that not [...]]]></description>
