WINE 101
Are you new to wine tasting?....
Do you know how to taste wine?
Look at the wine in your glass. What color is it? Is it bright and
pretty or murky and dull?
Swirl the wine. This liberates aromas and helps the wine
develop with exposure to oxygen.
Now take a deep sniff of the wine. What does the aroma remind
you of? Can you identify any different scents you know? Do you
like the way it smells?
Sip the wine and move the wine around in your mouth for a
few seconds before swallowing. Let it reach all of your palate
and even suck in some air to help further liberate its perfume.
How does it taste? What types of flavors do you detect? How
would you describe the texture of the wine on your palate?
Swallow the wine and pay attention to the finish, or aftertaste. Is
it pleasant or awkward? Does it entice you to take another sip?
Do the flavors linger on your palate or does it disappear quickly?
