Feeling Lost?!?
Let’s fix that! Sometimes wine vocabulary seems like a foreign language.

All different kinds of wine tastings. Again, relax.

Yep! A little knowledge goes a long way! Learn more as you go along if you want.

The describing wine part is really a highlight. I quote 3 wine “experts” who each describe the same wine differently. Crazy descriptive words.

SWIRL
SMELL

SAVOR
Not to repeat myself, but the video has all the helpful info you may want.
You don’t HAVE to do any of that but it could be fun.
With wine, I hate being told what I should do, or smell, or taste!
Find your joy!
For me though, the best part is SAVOR.
To me, that is just appreciating something delicious.
If you aren’t enjoying what you are drinking what is the point???

Possibly unpopular opinion:
A good wine is the one you enjoy!
Don’t let anyone say you aren’t drinking “good” wine!
The best way to find out what you enjoy is to compare wines.
Never mind the wine terms, you know that one wine may be more delicious for you.
Wine tastings give you the advantage of a comparing a whole bunch, or even a small bunch of wines. How great is that?!?!
If you can’t go to a wine tasting, hold one of your own.

We are talking fun here!
