Wine Tastings

The best way to learn about wine is to experience it. Experiencing it can take the form of online wine sessions, organized sit down tasting events, visits to local wineries or spending a little time observing the appearance, inhaling the aromas, and contemplating the flavours and experience on your palate of wines you buy. Every opportunity to taste wine helps to build your knowledge. It's fun to challenge your skills with "blind tastings". Blind tastings help to train your sensory skills.  With a little effort and consistent approach to tasting, you will be able to judge quality of wine for yourself and for others.  Along with the evaluation of wine, comes the appeal to consider perfect food pairings.  Without question, this is the way to elevate life's small pleasures of a good meal, good company and a bottle of wine.
