Claudia Stern poses a more philosophical question about the ""Proust effect""—the phenomenon of sudden, vivid memories triggered by scent—and its profound connection to the experience of tasting wine.

Hello, and welcome to the Italian wine podcast, and everybody means a bit of Shenza I'm Richard Hoff, host of Book Club, the monthly show that explores the World Dublin writing, and I'm standing in for Stevie Kim, who's on the road. And once again, I'm asking the questions to professor. We have a interesting funny, deep question here from Cameron Jones, another one of our via Italian wine ambassador students from the twenty twenty four intake and Cameron's question is. If you were to be reincarnated as a great variety, what great variety would that be and why? The same thing. Yeah. With me. Okay. Okay. Good. Thank you, Cameron, for your question. Carlos, Cameron Jones, there with with the question on reincarnation. Maybe you can you can let us know which which fine. You would like to be reincarnated and and and why. Let's move on to the next question. And this is, from Claudia Stern Tadia is another of our via students from the twenty twenty four intake. And this is her question. So we learned about the Greeks to rediscover smell and, of course, taste. If you have, this in your mind, and the best wines you have ever tasted, doesn't the best wines touches your senses? Is that the best then? How many times in your life you tasted the wine and you lean back and stepped into pure feelings and philosophy approach. And then already the. Okay. Interesting. And Claudia also mentions the impact of the prouse effect this sudden and vivid memory triggered by scent. What are your thoughts about that theory and how it relates to wine and the consumption of wine? So the mhmm. Yeah. Very interesting and it's a very, very powerful, profound effect. When this happens. Complian. I don't know. Okay. You're, like, I don't want to very interesting. Yep. Yep. Very interesting. It's it's a really interesting argument, Claudia. Thank you very much for for submitting that question. It's it's not something that had occurred to me in relation to Wayne, but as I said, I think that's mainly because wine wasn't really part of my my cultural experience growing up. Probably beer and tobacco smoke, and and it's now from my grandma's kitchen. They certainly provoked this this really powerful effect. So, yep, thanks again, Claudia, for that question.
