Wine Essences

 The Essence Collection was
designed to help you "educate your palate" in order to
maximize your enjoyment of wine. The enclosed booklet gives a
brief description of the contents of each of the vials in the
collection. Pick a vial, and read the description in the booklet
first. Then open the vial and hold it no closer than 6 to 8 inches
from your nose. The smell will reach your nose in a second or two. Take
your time in going from essence to essence. You might only want to
do a few at a time. You may prefer to arrange a "group
training" that will allow you to further challenge your olfactory
abilities. After you and others have taken the complete
"lesson," you can test one another. Have someone else
open the vials (covering the number) while you, with open booklet in
hand, try to match the essence with the page in the booklet. You will be
quite surprised how well you will remember these smells. The next
time you taste wine, you may want to test your memory first. Then, if
necessary, go back and check the booklet and vials. One expert says,
"A large part of the wine taster's skill comes from being able to
develop some sort of classification system and then to associate
words/categories with smells." |
