Book Description
Hosting a wine tasting party is an excellent way to celebrate good news or to simply catch up with good friends especially around the holidays. Who doesn't love fine wine and good conversation? Below are some ideas for taking your party to the next level: If you really want to liven things up, a blind tasting makes for an interesting event. For a blind tasting, you'll need numbered bottle covers or labels to hide the wine's identity. Using score cards similar to that below, ask guests to score the wines on: 1.Appearance -- clarity, depth of color, liveliness (vivid or dull) 2.Aroma (bouquet)-- fruity, nutty, earthy, floral, etc. Swirl the glass to aerate the wine then take a big sniff. If the wine is inviting based upon its bouquet, the pleasure of its taste will only be enhanced. 3.Body -- light, medium or full-bodied. The body of the wine refers to its weight in your mouth. 4.Taste -- sweet, acidic, or bitter (tannin). Take a medium sip and swirl the wine around in your mouth. Carefully drawing in air while sipping aerates the wine as well. 5.Finish -- finish is the impression that a wine leaves in your mouth after you have swallowed it. The longer the finish, the better the quality of the wine. A great wine, as opposed to a good wine, always has a pronounced, lingering, well balanced finish
