A fun way to learn about different wines, especially those that you normally would not buy yourself, is to organize a tasting wine in your home. Here are some tips for a fun and educational wine tasting:
* First, decide how many people you will invite. The size of your taste will probably determine the configuration that you use and perhaps even the subject of your tasting.
* Second, decide on a theme. You can choose a country, a region of a country or a grape (a grape). For example, wines Southern Rhône, or perhaps New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, or red wines of Chile. You can even set on an "ABC" theme: "Anything Cabernet purpose "or" Anything But Chardonnay. "However, I found that the closer the subject, the most interesting and entertaining event.
* Third, decide who will provide the food and wine. You may chose to stick to cheese, crackers and provide documentation. And if so, you could ask your guests each bring one or two bottles of wine (depending on your specified topic).
* Finally, determine how you want the formal, even of being. In other words, Will you make a wine at a time and then comment and encouraging comments from everyone? Or is it a more casual event that has just one theme of wine and not talking "wine"? There is no rules is entirely up to you.
Here are some ideas for you to consider:
Your basic wine tasting
* Invite just a handful of friends and ask each couple to bring a bottle of wine. Choose a theme-Syrah, by example and set a price ceiling, say, $ 30 and a low of $ 20. The country is up to the buyer.
* Go to market and purchase a variety cheese quality. Consult the specialist cheese. Let them know the type of wines you will serve. Get a couple of baguettes, olives, olive Decent oil, slices of dried ham (prosciutto, for example), and some gourmet cookies. So, grab a bottle or two of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Rosa © if you have something to serve as the guests arrive.
* Giving each of your guests a piece of paper and a pen. You may even want to have scoring sheets ready to help people evaluate the wines. But do not intimidate anyone. Make sure your guests know that there are no right or wrong here, and it's just for fun anyway. Here are some simple suggestions on how to judge and Wine score:
– Color: You want to be sure to watch the color of the wine by tilting the glass about 45 degrees and watching the liquid on a background white (such as your tasting notes). Paid particular attention to the rim of the liquid. This is where the true color will show. The deeper the color, the younger and more focused on wine is likely. Amber, red-brick tones in red wine are typical indicators of a certain age. Deep, golden color in white usually indicate the richness and concentration. Do not worry about pointing color. We will record the scores for other items.
– Aroma: Make sure to give the wine a good swirl. Then, stick your nose in there and take a deep breath. Shake again and this time try one more. Reflections on the flavor? What do you detect? Write it. Then give the aroma a score of 1 to 10, based on YOUR opinion, not the other. "
– Taste: After a few sniffs and swirls, it's time to taste wine. Start with a small sip and hold it in your mouth over and around your tongue for a few seconds. Swish the juice in your mouth. It is also helpful to open your mouth slightly and lightly clamp your upper teeth over your lower lip. This creates a very small hole through you can pump air in quickly, allowing air to run through the wine and releases more aroma and flavor in your mouth.
Thinking about wine for a few seconds before swallowing. How's the acidity? The result? Tannins? The body? You seem balanced? What does it taste like? It reminds you of something, nectarines, strawberries, vanilla, figs, currants, mature? Use your imagination and do not worry what others may think, there is no right or wrong answers here. Give the wine a score flavor between 1 to 10.
– Overall impression: Finally, I want to assign a score based on my general impression of the wine. Think about what you just enjoy. How impressed are you with its overall quality? With the balance and end? With his overall character? Did he "Wow!" you? Was it disappointing? Plus it seems flabby or without thorns? Give it a separate score between 1 to 5 based on the general impression.
Now, add up your points and multiply the total by four. This gives you an overall score based on a scale of 100 points.
Tip: Ask each to keep their secret notes until each is fully evaluated wines and add their scores. This will ensure that each writing their honest opinion. Compare your scores with others (this is always fun) and see how you and others thought the wine. Repeat this procedure with the other wines.
Wine tasting can be a ton of fun and a great way to meet interesting people. And the guests tend to remember these meetings for years. I have friends who tell me they still had fun there are 5 or 6 years at an evening of wine tasting I helped to organize. Follow these tips and you also have your friends talking about "legendary" tastings for years to come.
