Offical Wine Taster...


I went to Palm Desert last weekend to meet up with Kellie and her girlfriends for a weekend of fun. While there we attended a private wine tasting at the Marriot. Although I got a pretty good starter lesson, I have so much more to learn. What I did learn is to: look at the color, swirl, smell (stick your WHOLE nose in the glass), and taste either by sucking it through your teeth or leaving the wine on your tongue and sucking air through it. The tasting included 6 different wines mostly from Napa Valley. My favorite wine out of the group was Summers Estate Cabernet Sauvignon paired with herb goat cheese and crackers, yum! It was a great experience and I look forward to learning more!
