How to Taste Wine
HOW TO TASTE WINE Presented by Presque Isle Wine Cellars Kris Kane (Winemaker) www.piwine.com Overview • Discuss why and how to taste wine – Look – Smell – Taste • Go over a tasting wheel • Look, Smell, Taste, and discuss a few wines Tasting wine • When it comes to tasting wine consider wine in three stages – Look at the wine – Smell the wine – Finally taste the wine • After tasting it is nice to have a notebook to record your thoughts about the wine How to Look • Take lighting and background into consideration • Begin by not pouring the glass to full • Hold the glass at the base and tip away from you at a 45 degree angle • Look down on it • Now what are we looking for? What we are looking for • White wines color not as important but can tell us some things – First look to see if wine is clean and bright – Make sure there is no haze or cloudiness • Throws out red flag possible flaw (contamination) – Make sure there are no crystals (tartrates), which are harmless but not aesthetically pleasing – In a still wine make sure there are no bubbles which could be signs of a refermentation • Some young whites are purposely given a small amount of CO2 for some more zip Look Continued • If deep gold yellow gives idea of possible sweet wine affected by botrytis where color and taste is concentrated (ice wines) • If clear and pale, gives idea of young cool fermented white (German Rieslings) • If sunny yellow sign of warmer climate white (Australian Chardonnay) • If brownish tinges- things not looking good – Typical sign of oxidation (sherry like taste)

The Egg Test for Period Brewers and Mead Makers - Belinda Sibly (Mistress Roheisa Le Sarjent)
The Egg Test for Period Brewers and Mead Makers - Belinda Sibly (Mistress Roheisa le Sarjent) Sir Kenelm Digby, (11 July 1603 – 11 June 1665) was a 17th century English courtier, diplomat, privateer, entrepreneur, natural philosopher and inventor of the modern wine bottle, but is perhaps best know for his posthumously published cookbook, The Closet of the Eminently Learned Sir Kenelme Digbie Knight Opened. Compiled from Digby's life long collection of recipes by a close servant and published in 1669, several years after Sir Kenelm's death, it is an excellent source of period brewers recipes, especially those for honey based drinks. At least 55 of Digby's recipes (all for meads, metheglens and hydromels) contain the instruction to make your liquor “to bear an egg” or words to that effect. The same instruction appears in a mead recipe from the Danish Koge Bog of 1606, and in numerous pickling recipes of the new world colonies. Some versions are as brief as “try with a new-laid- egg” whilst others go into considerable detail. In this article I will explore those details and see how the egg test might be applied to historical brewing. How does the “Egg Test” work? The larger end of a birds egg contains an air cell that forms when the contents cool and contract after the egg is laid. A fresh egg has a relatively small air cell, but the size increases with time as the shell is very slightly porous allowing slow evaporation. An old egg has such a large air cell it will actually float in water and this is often used as the test for whether an egg is fit to eat.

US Premium Rosé Wine Brands Vs French – a Taste Test - Prime Women | an Online Magazine
US Premium Rosé Wine Brands vs French – A Taste Test - Prime Women | An Online Magazine US PREMIUM ROSÉ WINE BRANDS VS FRENCH – A TASTE TEST Tricia H. Conover - July 12, 2019 Dry rosé wines are produced all around the world in many wine regions using countless varieties of red grapes. Rosé wines have been the fastest growing category of wine consumed in the last few years. Rosé wine brands in the USA are growing rapidly. What is not to like? Savoring the flavors and aromas of red grapes in a chilled glass on a beautiful patio is my idea of a great happy hour. And these are not your Grandmother’s White Zinfandels! The most well-known rosé wine brands come from Provence in the South of France. Provence rosé history goes back to Roman occupation of the region in the days of Julius Caesar. Some of the wines were called “claret” for being such a clear red/pink color. In the 19th century tourists started to flock to the Cote d’Azur to go swimming in the Mediterranean sea on those beautiful beaches and would relax afterwards with a chilled glass of rosé. These local wines became a symbol of glamour, leisure, and summer. But, rosé is now a year-round wine and pairs so well with many foods ranging from light cheeses and seafood to grilled meats. And, it hails from many winemaking regions of the globe. Watch Tricia’s Rosé Tasting Reviews https://primewomen.com/entertainment/food-wine/us-premium-rose-wine-brands-vs-french/ Napa Valley, California Rosés The Napa Valley is the USA’s most famous wine region.

Wine Tasting, Blind and Otherwise: Blindness As a Perceptual Limitation
Wine Tasting, Blind and Otherwise: Blindness as a Perceptual Limitation Jonathan Cohen∗ Now — from which commune in Médocdoes it come? That also, by elimination, should be not too difficult to decide. Margaux? No. It cannot be Margaux. It has not the violent bouquet of a Margaux. Pauillac? It cannot be Pauillac, either. It is too tender, too gentle and wistful for a Pauillac. The wine of Pauillac has a character that is almost imperious in its taste. And also, to me, a Pauillac contains just a little pith, a curious, dusty, pithy flavor that the grape acquires from the soil of the district. No, no. This — this is a very gentle wine, demure and bashful in the first taste, emerging shyly but quite graciously in the second. A little arch, perhaps, in the second taste, and a little naughty also, teasing the tongue with a trace, just a trace, of tannin. Then in the aftertaste, delightful — consoling and feminine, with a certain blithely generous quality that one associates only with the wines of the commune of St. Julien. Unmistakably this is a St. Julien. — Roald Dahl, ”Taste,” Ladies Home Journal, March 1945. 1 Introduction In the wine world, blind tasting — tasting without knowing the wine’s producer, origin, or other details obtainable from the wine’s label — is consistently vaunted as the gold standard for tasting.1 It is held out as the best, most neutral, least biased, and most honest evaluative procedure, and one that should be employed to the exclusion of non-blind/sighted tasting (which, in turn, is typically disparaged as confused, biased, or dishonest).

Wine Tasting in Four Steps: Seeing, Smelling, Tasting, Analyzing
Wine tasting in four steps: Seeing, Smelling, Tasting, Analyzing See: The Color The ﬁrst step in a wine tasting is taken with the eyes. We distinguish 3 areas: color, intensity and viscosity. The 3 basic colours are white, rosé and red. In addition, colour gradations within these groups provide information on the type, age and taste of the wines. White wine: The colour palette ranges from light yellow to brownish orange. The tones can be cooler or warmer. What does the colour mean for the wine? White wines, which are grown in barrels, often have a more intense colour. Straw Yellow Gold Amber Straw yellow: Moscato, Riesling, Grüner Veltliner Yellow: Sauvignon Blanc, ripe Riesling, Pinot Grigio Golden yellow: Rioja, Trebbiano, Chardonnay Rosé wine: The colour palette ranges from light rosé to apricot to ﬁne bronze tones. What does the colour mean for the wine? The „rosé“ is created by the contact of the grape skin with the juice, the duration of this contact is decisive for the intensity of the colour. This means that there are typical rosé colours, which are determined by the winemaker. Pink Salmon Bronce Cognac Pink: Bandol Rosé, Grenache Rosé Salmon pink: Provence Rosé, Sangiovese Rosé Bronze: Pinot Noir Rosé, Syrah Rosé, Pinot Gris Rosé Red vine: The colour palette ranges from ruby red to violet red to strong dark red. What does the colour mean for the wine? Wines with violet colouring are still very young and the aging process is still subdued. Red wines become brighter over time and drawa wine to the orange.

Blind Tasting
On the Limitations of Blind Tasting Jonathan Cohen∗ Blind tasting — tasting without knowing the wine’s producer, origin, or other details obtainable from the wine’s label— has become something of a fetish in the wine world. We are told, repeatedly and insistently, that blind tasting is the best, most neutral, least biased, and most honest evaluative procedure, and one that should be employed to the exclusion of non-blind/sighted tasting (which, in turn, is typically disparaged as confused, biased, or dishonest). Professional evaluators (e.g., the tasting panel of the Wine Spectator, the Grand Jury Europeen,´ virtually every judging panel in competitive wine events) routinely advertise that they use blind tasting ex- clusively. Wine books and tasting manuals at all levels consistently emphasize the importance of blind tasting. Thus, Michael Broadbent, perhaps the most prolific author of tasting notes in history, writes that “It is my firm opinion . that to assess the qualities of a wine by tasting it completely blind, without any hint of what it might be, is the most useful and salutary discipline that any self-respecting taster can be given” (quoted in ?, 156). Or, again, Ronald Jackson, in his industry-standard textbook on wine tasting, asserts categorically that “Tastings should always be conducted blind, usually with only the names of the wine noted in advance” (?, 334). I believe this is a mistake. Although blind tasting undeniably comes with some benefits, it also carries significant but insufficiently appreciated disadvantages relative to sighted tasting. It is my hope that recognizing these, rather than uniformly favoring blind tasting, will help us choose tasting procedures suited to our aims on particular occasions, and thereby better enjoy the full range of experiences available in our vinous encounters.

Cabernet, Chardonnay, and Virtual Wine Tasting
Cabernet, Chardonnay, And Virtual Wine Tasting Chardonnays from the Willamette Valley tend to be leaner and more acidic than those from Napa and Sonoma Valleys. We find them a better pairing to delicate fish dishes that can be overwhelmed by fat and buttery chardonnays. While most consumers think of this region for its pinot noir, it’s about time to think of it for its chardonnays. Dan Warnshuis Dan Warnshuis makes chardonnay at Utopia in the Ribbon Ridge area, the smallest AVA in the valley. He admitted he is challenged to get full ripened grapes in this cool region but the longer growing reason improves acidity levels. “Chardonnay takes a little longer to ripen than pinot noir,” he said. “But in Ribbon Ridge, marine soils are warmer during the growing season and that helps chardonnay to ripen.” He said he likes making chardonnay because “it’s a blank sheet of paper and really exhibits terroir.” Here is a half dozen chardonnays to try: Bergstrom Vineyard Sigrid Chardonnay 2017 Utopia Estate Chardonnay 2017 ($45). Tropical fruit and citrus flavors abound in this delicate, balanced, medium-bodied wine with a hint of spice. Lenne Chardonnay 2018 ($45). Creamier in style, this lush chardonnay has apple and pear notes. Alloro Vineyard Estate Chardonnay 2018 ($34). From the Chehalem Mountains appellation, this lean chardonnay shows off plenty of apple and citrus fruit flavors. Bergstrom Vineyard Sigrid Chardonnay 2017 ($110). The price of this wine makes it cost prohibitive for most people but we mention it because of the top-drawer quality that comes from Willamette Valley.
