Swirl's 5 S's of Wine Tasting
Getting the most out of your tasting tour is easy when you follow the five fundamental steps of wine appreciation. Here is how I do it (after all, my name *is* Swirl!):
See
Look at the wine over a white surface. Assess color and intensity.
Swirl
Gently swirl to release the aroma compounds, letting the liquid coat the glass.
Sniff
Put your nose deep inside the bowl. Inhale and look for notes of berries, oak, or spice.
Sip
Take a medium sip. Roll it around your mouth to trigger all taste receptors.
Savor
Savor the finish. Pay attention to tannin, acidity, and overall mouthfeel.
