The red wine riddle (and how you should start tasting wine)

🔥

Here’s a puzzle for you.

Any idea? I'll give you the answer below.

In my latest video, I build on this puzzle wine to demonstrate the bottom-up sensory tasting process I shared with you last week.

This process prevents you from being influenced by preconceived ideas or by associations you've learned during your wine studies.

It’s a simple method you can replicate at home.

First, you evaluate the wine blind with minimal prior information: I show you how in the video.
Second, take detailed notes on what the wine evokes for you; use the wine aroma wheel to guide you on the aromatic components.
Optional: compare two wines side by side to pick up flavor nuances and improve your identification skills.
Third, reveal the bottles, gather information on the wine, and connect your sensory perceptions to technical and contextual data.

💎 Sensing first, accessing knowledge later.

That's the premise of this method, and I'm demonstrating it in this video.

Enjoy!

P.S. Yes, you are correct, the puzzle wine is...Beaujolais.
