Why do they spit???

Ok, I've always wondered why wine tasters spit out all that great wine they get to try!!  Holy cow, I'd love the chance to taste (and drink) the wines that they do.

It seems so unseemly to spit out all this expensive wine but after my class and doing some reading, I learned a thing or two.  If you are there to test wines, chances are you are going to taste at least ten different wines.  You don't want to get sloppy by the tenth wine you taste, right? You actually want to be able to taste it and give an honest opinion.

Which is why those snooty (or so we thought) wine tasters spit it out!

Stay tuned...I bought a couple of local wines from a vineyard in Virginia yesterday!  I'll be posting a review on one this weekend!
