I am trying to become more knowledgeable about wine tasting. I came across a book called "Great Wine Made Simple" by Andrea Immer. this book has opend my eyes to wine tasting. She breaks wine tasting into very simple parts. She starts with texture comparing light, medium and full bodied wines. Today I did white wines- Reisling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
After I tasted each one. Andy, my husband, had me close my eyes and then through smell and taste, I had to say which each wine was. I scored 100%. What I discovered was once my eyes were close I had to rely on my smell and taste much more. Afterwards Andy, mixed the two wine together and then I had to guess which wines he mixed. I was amazed that I did a great job again of calling out the flavors and getting them right.
