Hosting a Luxurious Wine Tasting Event
In the dead of winter, there are a few days that can bring relaxation and luxurious enjoyment. February 18th was Drink Wine Day, February 23rd is Open That Bottle Night, and February 25th is Wine & Cheese Day. Wine is one of life’s luxury’s, so take some time this weekend to celebrate and enjoy. Here are a few tips about hosting a wine tasting event, as well as the best cheese to pair with them for your next event at your Lake of the Ozarks home.
Inspect
Observe the wine’s color, clearness, and density. Look straight down into your wine glass before holding it up to the light and carefully tilting it.
Swirl
This is the signature movie wine tasting move. If you are a beginner, you may want to start by keeping your glass flat on the table or counter while swirling. If you notice wine droplets (also known as tears or legs) that run down the sides of your glass, it is a sign that this wine has a high alcohol content.
Sniff
Take time to enjoy and observe the fragrance of the wine. It will tell you a lot about its ingredients and quality. Check for aromas like:
Fun Fact: don’t wear strong perfume, cologne, or scented body lotion to a sophisticated wine tasting as this could interfere with the fragrance of the wine.
Taste
Finally, the best part. Take a delicate sip of each wine that is available for tasting. You can thoughtfully compare what you smelled to what you taste. Depending on the crowd at the event, you may want to keep your wine observations to yourself until everyone has tasted. Some wine connoisseur get upset when unintentional conclusions of the wine are voiced.
Spit
The main time that spitting is acceptable at classy events. While it seems counterintuitive to spit out high-quality wine, there are many benefits. The biggest is that it allows you to keep your judgment for tasting all of the wines.
