New York Wine Expo Seminar Review

Seminar Name: Learn to Taste like a Pro: Learn the Secrets Behind How to Taste Wine Through Blind Tasting

This hour long seminar was fabulous. Each consumer placement had a numbered table mat with twelve wine filled glasses sitting on top. In front of the table settings were water, crackers and buckets, after all, it is a tasting. There were white wines, reds, rose and a desert available. A variety of wines came from all over the world like the Wither Hills Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand and Avlear "Solera 1927" Pedro Ximenez, Sherry from Spain.  

Wine lovers were taught about many aspects of wine like color, age, swirl perfection and scent, as well as the wine process. Here's one information installment that many do not know, white wines get darker as they age and reds get lighter. 

This class was great regardless of how seasoned your wine knowledge. While there were some serious notes being taken, jokes were flying too. Even the Thirstygirl Representative and author, Leslie Sbrocco stated that it was okay to "spit backwards", swallowing every last drop in front of you.

Today is the last day the general public can attend. If you can, and are twenty-one years or older, take in a seminar.
