Wine tasting
1. Fill glass with wine and hold it by stem
2. Smell - Take a small sniff. Smell wine and think big to small
3. Look - Check color, opacity, & viscosity.
4. Swirl - Swirl the wine in your glass. Look at the edges of the wine and note the colors. Swirling also draws Oxygen from the air into the wine.
5. Taste - Take a sip and keep/roll in mouth before taking it in. Assess both taste structure (sour, bitter, sweet) and flavors derived from breathing with the back of your nose.
