"A beautiful story is attributed to Talleyrand, in which the prince explains to a guest unfamiliar with the subtleties of the art of tasting that before bringing a good wine to the mouth, one must first contemplate it and then smell it at length. 'And then,' the impatient guest asks, 'do you drink it?' 'No, sir, not yet,' Talleyrand replies, 'then you put the glass back on the table and talk about it!'"
