Confidence in ability

While traveling back from Europe some time ago, I read the article about a guest that ordered a £ 18 000 bottle of Ch Petrus and then after tasting it declared it a fake and sent it back. Read the full article here.

What was amazing about this article was the confidence of the person sending back this bottle. This person must have knew exactly what they were buying and how it should taste. Enough knowledge and confidence to declare such an expensive bottle a fake. (It seems according to the article that this evaluation was correct).

In the things that is important to me, I would like to grow my knowledge and expertise to the same degree that I would have this kind of confidence in my abilities.
