Tasting Tips
- Pace yourself.
You don't have to taste everything in one day. In fact, it's impossible - and
foolish.
- Most tasting
rooms provide dump buckets to pour excess wine from your glass. Use them.
- Many wine
professionals swallow only minute amounts when they are tasting several wines
at one sitting. Wine can be fairly evaluated even
after one spits most of a small sampling into a dump bucket. Spitting may not
be pretty, but try it anyway. People may think you're a connoisseur (unless you
dribble red wine down your shirt).
- Keep an open
mind. And remember to use your eyes to check the wine's color and clarity, your
nose to evaluate aroma, your sense of taste to check the flavor and finish, and
your sense of touch to consider mouth-feel and texture.
- If you don't
spit (or even if you do), it's a good idea to take along a designated driver.
