1. Notice the color of the wine as you tilt your glass, against a white background, to see the wine from its very thinnest and lightest to its deepest in color.
2
. Bring the wine to your nose to inhale the aroma and take note of what scent first makes itself known to you.
3. Gently swirl the wine inside the bowl of the glass to coat the sides. Notice how quickly or slowly the wine filters down after you stop swirling (this is called LEGS). Then lift the wine to your nose to inhale the aromas. Take note of the scent you get and compare to the first time you nose it.
4. Take a sip and slosh the wine throughout your mouth. This method helps to bring the wine to all parts of the mouth and tongue, allowing each taste sensation to be detected. You may allow a little air through your mouth; this further intensifies the flavors.
5. Take note of how long the flavor of the wine stays in your mouth. This is referred to as the “FINISH” and will leave the last impression of the wine with you
6. Enjoy and have fun
