Wine Tasting Party Secrets

Posted by iwellbc on April 4th, 2010

Most wine lovers, at some point, have taken the opportunity to participate in a wine tasting. In many cases, the tastings were sponsored by a commercial winery. Sometimes local merchants who sell wine will have a tasting. Even cruise lines have wine tastings on many cruises. However, did you know that it’s quite possible to turn your home bar, or wine bar, into a very professional wine tasting event!
Of course your wine tasting doesn’t necessarily have to be “professional”, but i’m sure you’d like it to be authentic and fun. This article will provide some keys to a successful wine tasting.
Home wine tasings should be rather small gatherings. Anywhere from 4-8 friends is perfect. Tell your friends to each bring a bottle of wine in a specific price range. Now, there are two schools of thought on the types of wine to bring. Some wine tastings feature all of the same type of wine, a Merlot, for example.

Wine Tasting – a Guide to Wine Tasting Events

Posted by iwellbc on April 4th, 2010

Wine tasting events are becoming more and more popular. From college classrooms to vacations to Napa Valley, if you’re going to a wine tasting event and aren’t familiar with the protocol, you’ll stick out like a sore thumb.
The first thing to note when you go to a wine tasting event is that the staff at various tasting rooms are there to help educate you, not be snooty. It is perfectly acceptable to bring a pad of paper and a pen to take notes. Also, if the staff member doesn’t mention a type of wine that you’re interested in, it’s okay to ask for a specific kind.
The order of the wines usually goes from light to heavy and then from dry to sweet. Since some wines don’t follow others very well, it’s best to take the staff’s advice when deciding which wines to try first. You don’t have to try every wine that is offered to you, and you don’t have to finish the entire glass that is poured for you. If you find one that you don’t like, discreetly dump [...]

Wine Guide – Wine Tasting Made Easy

Posted by iwellbc on April 4th, 2010

There’s no great mystery to wine tasting – it simply is what it says. Tasting the flavors in the grape and learning to appreciate the differences between the different varieties on offer.
If you’ve never done it before then try it at home, perhaps with a few friends. First take three of four different varieties of wine (red, white, rose – or a mixture of all three). It should be a light-hearted occasion with perhaps everyone contributing a bottle. Make a note of each bottle’s name, its manufacturer and year produced and arm yourself with a glass for each bottle and a notepad for your findings.
Opening Correctly
Open the bottle with a good opener being sure not to leave any cork behind in the bottle, as this can affect the taste and opacity of the wine.
Checking the Color
Now pour a little wine into the glass (a fifth of a glass is adequate for tasting purposes). Notice the color of the wine as it enters the glass and hold it up to the light so that you take a better look at it’s [...]
