Lisa signed us up for a very fun and informative course at UC Davis called - The Sensory Evaluation of Wine.
This was a 2 day course that gave us an in depth introduction to color, aroma and taste
of wine - both white and reds. We got to test wine defects ( taste and smell) as well as practice to pick out the smells and relate what we smell to a name for it using the Aroma Wheel.We had some very well known professors lecturing and got a chance to taste a huge number of different wines, from all over the world. We had the chance to try classic styles of wine and to catalog the traits... We also had some very nice lunches and some aperitifs and Port.
Strangely after tasting wines for 16 hours my guess is that I actually drank only maybe 3 or 4 thimbles full the whole time... a lot of taste and spit going on
Our enjoying of wine will never be the same LOL
