Listen to Your Taste Buds

Saturday Night Live regularly broadcasts comedy skits that advertise made-up products.  One of these funny skits was, in fact, an actual commercial for Budweiser.  The hilariously funny series of skits included several of the SNL cast inside a mouth dressed up as Taste Buds.  A variety of foods were thrown into a mouth, but the Taste Buds were satisfied only when doused with Budweiser beer.  Silly, stupid and brilliant all at once.   

While my taste buds bristle at the thought of being doused with Bud, the skit highlights that wine consumers should pursue what makes their taste buds happy.  You can use Drink Plonk to track your personal preferences, and to get recommendations from consumers who have similar preferences.  My taste buds long for heavy but sweet and jammy, peppery red wine. 

Hey Taste Buds, Zinfandel is coming soon!
