Wine Aromas and Essences Have you ever wondered what you can do to improve your wine tasting abilities? Well, here at the cellar, we stock a variety of products to enhance on the standard "Swirl, Sniff, Sip, Swish, and Spit" procedure: “Swirl” releases the aromas; “Sniff” identifies various characteristics; “Sip” is self-explanatory; “Swish” moves the wine around your mouth to fully experience it; and “Spit” is the optional step.First, we carry sets of tasting glasses designed to provide an unbiased portrayal of any wine you put in them, contrary to Riedel glasses, which are specifically designed for each style. We also carry the Riedel tasting glass, designed to give you plenty of swirling room to release the aromas. To improve on your sniff, we carry various sets of Le Nez Du Vin. This set includes bottles of essential oils pertaining to white wines, red wines, or even faults. For the more ambitious, we also carry the full fifty-four smell set. By training yourself to recognize isolated scents, it makes it easier to pick apart the aroma of any given wine. If you’ve considered doing a blind tasting for your friends, you can use our red or white blind tasting bags to hide the bottle. We also carry various instructional books filled with pointers and techniques used by wine judges. And if you’ve ever thought of recording your journey through wine tasting, we stock a full selection of wine journals, from binders to pocket sizes. To learn more about “how to taste”, attend our seminars, or come talk to us during our complimentary tastings. — J.S. |
