Wine Tasting 101 at CocuSocial
Wine tasting can be more of an art than a science, but it is also a skill that you can learn (or you can pretend to learn while sipping on some excellent local and international wines). In this guided wine tasting introduction, you’ll learn to think like a sommelier as you sample a collection of different wines to develop a nose and tongue for the subtle differences between varietals. You’ll be taught how different grapes are used to ferment different kinds of wines (what really is the difference between a merlot and a pinot noir), how different climates impact wine production (is a Greek wine really that different from an Argentinian wine) and how wine culture has developed (like why it is only truly champagne if it is from the Champagne region of France, otherwise, it's just a sparkling white wine).
