Learn to taste wine like an expert!

Want to learn how to taste wine as the experts do?

Eyeballing wine, swirling and sniffing and swishing ... it may look complicated or even snobbish, but the traditional wine-tasting technique is actually based on common sense. It's simply a way to pause for a moment, to stop and think, and to pay attention to the ways that wine impacts on all your senses, from sight and scent to taste, aftertaste, and the overall impression that the wine leaves behind after you've finished.

Divided into 8 easily digested chapters, the course features an introduction to tasting wine, including an appreciation of its sight, smell and taste; a look at the oddities of wine vocabulary; a discussion of "blind" tasting as the most effective way to develop your palate; and a presentation of the University of California/Davis "Aroma Wheel," an easy way to sort out the variety of aromas and flavors found in wine.

Now grab a corkscrew and a bottle, get something good in your glass, and jump right in. You can click to any chapter from the list on the right, or start at the beginning and continue through the complete course by clicking Next Chapter at the end of each page.
