This is the best part. You’ve looked around, seen how we do things, and now it’s time to taste the wine. If you’ve never stepped foot inside a tasting room we understand if you feel a little apprehensive. Relax, we’re stylish but very casual. We take wine seriously, but that doesn’t me you should.
Unless you want to. Then we’ll show you how to swirl a glass (that’s to release the aromas), sniff, taste and spit. Yes, spitting is a good thing. We’d like you to keep a clear head! We’ll recommend wines for your favourite foods, give you hints about food and wine matching and answer all your questions.
To maximize the experience we suggest:
• Avoid wearing scent – men, that applies to you too! You won’t be able to smell the wine properly and it may bother others.
• Toss away the gum and mints before you taste.
• If you’ve just eaten, clear your palate with the water and bread we have on hand at the bar.
• Try different varietals but go from lighter to heavier wines, whites to reds - we can guide your selections if you’d like.
• Keep track of wines you taste on your travels by jotting down a few notes.
• Put a cooler in your trunk for wine purchases.
• Trust your own personal taste. Buy what you like and don't worry about the hype.
And please, travel with a designated driver who won’t be drinking.
