Take notes regarding your wine tasting experiences. Typically, you can utilize the paper that the pouring list is printed on. If you’re curious regarding how to evaluate a wine, please click here.
For those really into wine, you can request what’s called a “vertical tasting”. A “Vertical Tasting” is a comparison between vintage years. For example, the 2001 Release of Chardonnay versus the 2002 Release. If it’s being poured, you can always ask for a “vertical tasting”.
Wine tasting isn’t about following the rules, it’s about having fun. I’ve just set out some of my personal guidelines that might make tasting a little bit more enjoyable for everyone. Please write me at Byron@BayAreaCritic.com if you have additional suggestions.
