Tips for Wine Tasting

If Testing Wine for Wine’s Sake

Be sure to have very simple foods available:

  • 3-4 cheeses including a brie or goat cheese, a dry cheddar and a blue cheese, if you’re serving big, bad reds
  • Water crackers or sliced baguette
  • Dark chocolate
  • Berries or grapes
  • Water

Ideally, you want foods that will support and enhance the wine-tasting experience, not overtake it.

Beware of taste-bud fatigue. If you taste too much or too long, eventually your senses really can’t make any reasonable discernment.
