ABCS OF WINE TASTING

This is an excellent, in-depth article about the how's and why's of wine tasting. The article contains a description of how to evaluate wines based on appearance, aroma, and taste. As the author explains, "Every bottle of wine is a message, the physical embodiment of a specific place and time captured and transmitted for the pleasure of the taster." This article walks the would-be wine taster through the process, explaining the procedure and the reasons for each step. As the author points out, wine tasting enhances our understanding and enjoyment of wine. "The effort to understand it through tasting, and to share that understanding with other tasters, creates a common experience that builds bonds between people."
