Tips for Wine Explorers

Picture
   If you are interested in developing your palate and learning more about the wine lover’s lifestyle, we recommend you start with the following: 

* Attend the different wine tastings in your area. Many of them are paid events, but you can also find free tastings. 

*Take notes of the various wines you encounter. Try to recognize some of the characteristics that you especially like and/or dislike in the wines. 

*If you go to a restaurant and do not know or recognize a wine you like, ask the sommelier to suggest ones that will be similar to what you enjoy. 

*If you order a red wine in a restaurant, and it is too warm once poured, do not be ashamed to ask for a wine bucket with ice to chill the bottle for a few minutes. A red wine in a warmer temperature can taste very different. 

*Take risks and try new wines.  Search for different grapes, similar to the grapes you enjoy, so that you may expand your horizons. 

*The most expensive wine is not necessarily the best wine. To learn about wines you should search, dig, and explore the various regions and wine producers. Being an oenophile is being adventurous, traveling to wondrous places…and encountering wines you never imagined existed.
