wine tasting

[joeyz6]

I agree with the book purchase idea, but if you want a very basic wine-tasting procedure, it's eyes-nose-mouth. Examine the wine visually, then give it a good sniff, swirl the wine, sniff it again to see what new aromas were released, and then taste it. Make sure the wine touches all the parts of your tongue, and you might breathe a little air into your mouth to oxidize it a bit.

That said, definitely buy the book. This explanation doesn't do the process justice. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
