The Art of Scent: Training Your Nose to Unlock Red Wine’s Aromas

Thanks to everyone who attended our most recent event! We spent time discussing all of the aspects of wine sensory including sight, smell, and taste.  We spent time discussing how these map to wine evaluation using our AWS Wine Evaluation Chart.

We started out the evening enjoying some wonderful sparkling wines, dining on the appetizers everyone had brought and great conversation.

The highlight of the night was having everyone test their ability to identify 12 different aromas that are found in red wine…which is really hard to do!  We discovered difficulty in identifying aromas without visual clues.

We then put those skills to work by evaluating three red wines.  A great night of learning and fun!
