Dear Editor, As manager of Eagle Ridge Golf Course and Country

It is perhaps the greatest story in history of human freedom.

What does it mean when a wine is “balanced?” It’s a wine that incorporates all its main components – tannins, acid, sweetness and alcohol – in a manner where no one single component stands out. Tannins come from grape skins, seeds, stems and oak barrels - it’s the astringent taste you get when you have bitten into a grape seed. Tannins give body and structure to the wine - too much tannin can be mouth-puckering and drying. The right amount of acids give wines their characteristic crisp, slightly tart taste. Too much acid and the wine can taste sour. A wine with too much sugar will taste cloying and sugary and will not be refreshing. A balanced wine is when all the components work in harmony.
