How To Taste Wine Without Sounding Stupid

Howdy newbie! Glad to have ya. In this instructive session, Marie Cheslik takes you on an engaging journey into the joy of wine tasting. She introduces the concept of blind tasting, a challenge usually reserved for sommeliers aiming to identify a wine's grape, region, and age. However, the emphasis here is on enjoying the experience rather than achieving pinpoint accuracy. The process is methodically divided into four key stages: lookin’, smellin’, tastin’, and talkin’ about what we found. Marie encourages a patient approach to aroma identification, suggesting associations with everyday items for reliability such as strawberry Pop Tarts and Pine Sol.

Tasting wine involves a deliberate and pleasantly noisy process designed to enhance the sensory experience. Marie guides you in deducing the wine's characteristics… we won’t spoil the surprise here so you’ll have to watch the vid yourself! The video concludes with a thoughtful recommendation from Marie to try a blind tasting at home, offering a downloadable PDF for further exploration—a sophisticated yet accessible approach to the world of wine. Yee-haw, Slik Squad.
