Wine Tasting Techniques - Do You Do It Right?
Wine Tasting Techniques - Do You Do It Right?
Wine tasting is something of a unique experience. Each person
will experience it in their own way but most don't taste it at
all. Sure, you may experience the taste of something other than
water in your mouth, but until you truly taste wine, you are
probably missing its true benefit to you. Today, there is a
growing demand for wine tasting education. Is this something
that you need? First, learn if you really taste wine the way
that you should be.
Wine has a unique taste. Because it is such a complex taste,
though, most individuals do not take the time necessary to
actually taste it fully. This is a sad mistake because the
true benefit of wine is in its true flavor, this is of course
where having a good Wine Tasting Technique comes in handy!
Each wine that you find on the market is unique in its own way.
The sun beats down on each region that produces wine uniquely,
from a different strength to a different intensity. The soil
in each region is unique, with different minerals, good and bad.
What all of this does is create a unique grape, one that is
only grown in that region of the world. Unlike other foods, the
simplest of differences in the taste of a grape will make a
large difference in the taste of the final product it makes such
as wine.
Because of the process of making wine is so unique in virtually
every region of the world that too contributes to a unique taste.
Still, many individuals find that true wine tasting is not
something that is specific to a region, but something that
should be done everywhere to really experience what wine is.
When you really drink wine so that you can taste it, you can
clearly see the benefits that it can offer to you. You can taste
the complexity of the flavors that have gone into it. You can
taste the different levels of freshness, of sweet and sour and of
each slight difference. In addition, when you taste it properly,
you also smell it properly, which is also another experience
that wine should offer to you.
Take a few minutes to really enjoy the taste and smell of the
wine you have. Select a few types of wines and really learn how
the flavors meld together. Find out how this wine really is
supposed to be tasted. It will completely change the way that
you feel about wine.

Quintessa - Rutherford Napa
"The 1999, an 8,000-case blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, is a delicate, elegant, restrained, polite effort with pretty red and black currant flavors intermixed with licorice, soil overtones, and subtle spicy oak. It is neither big nor flamboyant. This is a polished, exceptionally refined offering, particularly for a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Although somewhat understated, one has to respect its integrity and intention. It should age nicely for 10-15 years." RP - 89 (Subject to Availabilty) QUIN99

Two New Airports & More
Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:39:50 PDT
Two quick business trips this month took me to the cities of Hyderabad, Bangalore & Chennai. Given how much news the new airports in Bangalore and Hyderabad have recently generated in India, I was looking forward to checking them out first-hand. For the Hyderabad trip, I had to stay in Mumbai overnight so I could take an early morning flight from there. I drove into the Grand Hyatt late in the evening from Pune and headed straight for dinner. Note: Bangalore Airport photo credit: Soumik K
