Riesling Wines Sensory Deep Dive

A deep dive into the sensory qualities of Riesling Wines

Class Summary

In this class, Isabelle Lesschaeve, wine sensory scientist and tasting coach, breaks down the science behind Cabernet Sauvignon sensory qualities: 

  • where its aromas come from (black fruit, green bell pepper, vanilla, cassis), 
  • how tannins create different mouthfeel sensations, and 
  • how climate and winemaking shape the wine in your glass. What factors influences them, and 

You'll also get a practical, step-by-step sensory training framework you can do at home — with product references, a daily practice plan, and a downloadable planner.

No sommelier certification needed. No expensive bottles required. Just consistent, structured practice that actually works.

The result? You'll taste with confidence, describe what you genuinely sense, shop smarter, and enjoy wine on your own terms.
