This blog will document my experience with wine tasting. By trying a wide variety of wines, I hope to expand my ability to sense the many flavors present in a wine. I've always thought that surely a small bit of wine tasting and reviews is made up, and there was no way a wine could have "blackberry notes with hints of eucalyptus." However, even as I'm just starting out with wine tasting, I've been surprised in my capability of singling out different flavors.
Up to this point, I had always preferred the taste of white wine to red. It always seemed much more refreshing and crisp, and less "winey" like red can be. However, I began to try a glass of red wine with dinner every now and then, and the taste has begun to appeal to me much more. Over the course of this semester, I hope to find a favorite type of red and white wine and be able to describe them accurately. Right now, my favorite grape is a pinot noir, but there are still many others for me to try. I will post my review of tastings for five different wines a week, and I expect that I will quickly be able to discern different notes and flavors in wine.
