Important Tips to Remember
Like with any wine tasting event, approach it knowing you will not be able to taste all of the wine offered. Create a plan that focuses on a varietal of wine or a wine region that you would like to explore. Keep your body hydrated by drinking a lot of water. Pace and educate yourself by attending the Crash Courses. Taste then pour out – this will help keep your palate from getting tired and your memory from getting blurry.
