If you’ve ever played Pictionary, you know how much fun it is to come up with hysterical pictures that are meant to resemble clues. What if you combined wine tasting with Pictionary? Let me introduce you to Roland Micu who is America’s youngest master sommelier. His claim to fame is that he thinks about wine in shapes. “For instance, after sipping gruner veltliner (a crisp Austrian white wine), he draws what looks like a starfish on a cocktail napkin. ‘This is what I see when I taste this wine,’ he says. ‘This is its texture.’ A fruitier, full-bodied red blend from Sonoma County inspires what looks like a Rorschach blot. While it is not unheard of to see imagery when tasting, it is rare.”
