Tasting
WinesWine offers a complex experience for all the senses. Begin with the eye, taking in the color, clarity, and intensity of your wine. Then the nose. The aroma rising from a glass of wine yields intimations of a wine's style, origin, history, and aging. Finally, let the wine meet its intended: the palate.
Fill the glass about 1/3 full. Less, and you might not be able to appreciate
the wine fully; more, and it could affect your handling the glass and
its contents.
Throughout the tasting process, take care to pick up the
glass by the stem. Avoid handling the bowl of the glass, which can block
the wine from the light, smudge the glass, and alter the wine's temperature.
