Are you frustrated when wine description feels like guesswork?
Most wine enthusiasts enjoy tasting wine mainly for its flavor complexity.
But wine flavors are often elusive and difficult to grasp, hence your frustration trying to put a name on them.
That’s why enology students, i.e., future winemakers, go through a focused sensory training during their graduate studies to hone their wine flavor description skills.
How do you expect to describe wine flavor precisely without following a focused sensory training?
About 80% of what you taste as wine flavor is, in fact, elicited by wine aromas perceived on your palate.
That’s why training your sense of smell first through sensory practice is the most effective way to improve your palate and describe wine flavors precisely with confidence.
Where do you start?
Introducing...
Awaken Your Sense of Smell Masterclass
A two-hour live masterclass to discover three simple frameworks that will immediately boost your confidence in identifying wine aromas and help create your personal practice plan.
What will you learn?
- The importance of your sense of smell in your wine-tasting experience and the simple N.O.S.E. framework. It's a mindful practice that invites you to pause and notice any time you detect a scent in your daily routine.
- How to move from the mindful practice to a more intentional training at home. The S.E.N.S.E.S. framework will guide you through a comparative assessment of two similar scents. This practice helps you strengthen your ability to compare and contrast aromas by using flavored products you already have at home.
- The power of learning with aroma standards. The Learn and Test framework is a proven sensory method for developing your aroma identification skills with aroma standards.
Gain clarity on how to develop your wine palate faster.
