Wine OR Wine & Food

You may have heard about the wine that's “presumptuous ... and without any breeding”...but how about wines described as, “crisp, concentrated, smooth, light, tannic, or oxidized”...terms that actually do mean something, when used correctly. Through comparing and contrasting wines (sounds like a school), we will explore the principal taste and flavor dimensions of wine, learn the vocabulary, and discover and refine our taste preferences.

As part of the learning process, students will taste samples of acidic, sweet, and alcoholic drinks, tannin and bitterness, to distinguish the tastes, their effect in the mouth, and the resultof mixing these tastes.
