So, you have been invited to your very first wine tasting party. You know that this is fun and it is a great way to show off your palate. But, what if you don't know anything about wine tasting? What if you don't know the proper way to taste wine? Surely you wouldn't want to be embarrassed in front of your friends as well as the host of the party tasting the wine the wrong way, would you?
So, here are some simple guides on how to taste wine.
You need to remember that wine tasting is a great experience. Most people do it in their own way but most people don't really know how to taste wine. Tasting wine is not just about having something other than water in your mouth, but tasting wine is about knowing the wine.
You have to remember that wine has a unique taste. It has a very complex and very rich taste that you need to fully taste. Wine tasting is not just about putting the wine in your mouth and swirling it around inside your mouth, but it takes some time in order for you to identify the wine and get its true flavor. That's the essence of wine tasting, which is getting the true flavor of the wine you taste.
Each wine isn't the same when it comes to flavor. The age of the wine will have an effect on the taste, which is why the older it is, the more expensive the wine is.
You also need to remember that the taste and quality of the wine will also depend on the quality of the raw products, which are grapes. The soil in each region is different with different amounts of minerals, and the amount of rainfall is also different on each region. This will also contribute to the taste of the wine.
Unlike other foods, the simplest difference in the taste of a grape will have a lot of difference in the taste of the final product which is wine.
Also, because each process of making wine is different in each region of the world, it will also contribute on the taste of the wine.
The point of all this is that you should take some time in tasting and smelling the wine. Don't just swirl it in your mouth and spit it out but you need to truly capture the flavor by seeing it first, then smelling it, and lastly, tasting it.
Try tasting as much wine as you can and washing your mouth off with room temperature water or unsalted biscuits to get the previous wine flavor off your mouth.
By tasting as much wine as you can, then you will be able to improve your palate and be able to know which type of wine suits your taste buds. Also, you will be able to gain experience in wine tasting so that the next time you get invited to another wine tasting party or you go on a wine tasting holiday in some of the most prominent vineyards in the world, you will be able to know and impress people on how knowledgeable you are with wines.
These are some of the things that you have to know about wine tasting. As you can see, it's not just about having something other than water in your mouth, but it's about truly capturing and identifying the complex flavor of wine.
Do you take the glass and swish the contents around after the Sommelier pours a small amount of wine in your glass, and then set your nose over the glass rim acting as if you know what the heck you are checking for?
If so, the show might look impressive to anyone slightly interested in your actions, but what if someone asks you what your are doing while performing this snobbish ritual? Will you have an answer or just be embarrassed?
In the early 20th century, when formal dining out was in it's hay day, it was or seemed to be chic to check the nose of the wine and test it on your palette. But those days have gone by... And I mean long ago! So for your sake, please don't ever do that when presented a bottle of wine at your table in a restaurant. Even if you are prompted to do so by the Sommelier or even a friendly waiter trying to score points with your party. Do not and I mean do not do this.
If you do accept the challenge, chances are you and the server will end up at the center of an uncomfortable and awkward moment. So for both of you, just tell the wine Sommelier or server that you are sure the wine will be fine and let them pour and be on their way.
If you find yourself in the presence of someone who during dining out, finds it necessary to perform the afore mentioned ritual, know you are experiencing the wine snob. It's not uncommon for self professed wine experts to expose a wine to their palette and gently swallow it. Then springs forth from them, a barrage of flowery language describing a hint of Chocolate....a small slightly detectable taste of Watermelon or maybe even the flower of Blackberry. All quite a bit theatrical unless you are at a wine tasting club.
Quasi wine aficionados are a dime a dozen and very easy to spot. It's truly amazing to watch a wine drinker start spouting off flowery language attempting to describe which most often is just an average wine. And many times less than and average wine it turns out.
Best practice these days require that you select a wine that you like and enjoy. Nothing more and nothing less. It's important to realize that your taste is just as good and important as that of anyone else. After all. isn't the object of drinking wine to enjoy it and be sociable? Do you care what fruity smell it might have or whether some candy can be associated with it. I doubt it.
Here is a great money saving tip for enjoying wine during a dinner out. Call ahead and ask the restaurant manager if their establishment will allow you to bring your own bottle of wine and just add a corkage charge to your bill. Many upscale restaurants are fine with this practice. That way you really do get to drink a wine you like and not have to pay $20 to $30 or more for a bottle of $12 wine.
Regardless of the steps you take to enjoy your nite out or special gathering, do just that....enjoy yourself and let the wine snobs do their thing and look ridiculous. It will be a much more pleasant experience without going through a dog and pony show over the wine being served.
