24 Wine glass selec)on Shaped to direct wine to part of mouth for most flavor apprecia)on. Bowls are tapered upward with a slightly narrower opening on top. Shape helps capture & direct aroma toward mouth and nose Red wine glass bowl is fuller and rounder with a larger opening. White wine glass bowl will be more U shaped and upright to allow wine to stay cooler. Sparkling wine glass (or flute) is upright and more narrow to retain the carbona)on and display co2 bubbles on the side. Dessert wine glass is smaller to direct the wine to the back of the mouth so the sweetness doesn't overwhelm. Nichols Winery & Cellars
25 Wine Opening Foil cu]er is used to cut top of foil off Young wines, use corkscrew to extract the cork Center the corkscrew on top of cork and screw into cork Use 2 stage medal flaps on side of bo]le top to pull up on cork. Older wines, use a co2 cork pop opener Co2 pushes the cork up and out. Sparkling wine, twist the wire to loosen and remove wire Hold plas)c cork and turn the bo]le while the cork pops out Screw top wine bo]le grab the top of cap to brake seal Twist off the cap Nichols Winery & Cellars
26 Wine E)que]e Don t worry about wine e)que]e at a winery, it is a place to learn about wine and enjoy wine When wine tas)ng at a winery, it is OK to discard wine and also spit wine Dining at restaurants, it is acceptable to bring a bo]le of wine and pay a corkage fee. Ask your waiter or sommelier to recommend a wine to match your dinner of choice. Server will present the wine you ordered or he recommended to you. Cork will be presented to you for you to inspect for mold or dryness. It is acceptable to reject a wine Check for proper temperature for the wine served Nichols Winery & Cellars
27 Wine E)que]e at home Start with a light wine to start the evening Use proper glasses for your guest Choose wines that go well with the food of the evening Ask your waiter or sommelier to recommend a wine to match your dinner of choice. Pour glass to ½ volume or half of a glass Guests should let the host serve you wine unless they say help yourself. Dinner par)es, always bring a bo]le of wine. If unsure what to bring, then bing a bo]le of Pinot Noir, it is the most versa)le wine variety. Do not expect your wine to be served at the dinner party Nichols Winery & Cellars
28 Wine Giq E)que]e Buy a wine you think they will enjoy, if you know them. If you know the person, it is OK to buy a wine you think they will like. Pinot Noir is always a good choice. It matches with many food choices It can be drank for itself Shop at a good wine shop and ask for help picking a wine. If you are s)ll lost for choices, then pick a Nichols wine, Soleil & Terroir wine or a Silver Fox wine. During the warm part of the year choose a white wine. Nichols Winery & Cellars
29 What are the rules of wine tas)ng? Do not introduce intrusive smells, such as perfume Use good ligh)ng Try to be quiet so you do not disturb others Do not discuss the wine with other during tas)ng, you may influence others Write notes, to aid memory, and to monitor the progress of the wine Always spit if you are tas)ng more than a few wines Think carefully about the wine Keep your glasses clean Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
30 Why is wine tas)ng important? Wine tas)ng tells us about wine s personality Wine tas)ng sets us up for a heightened experience of pleasure It gives us a greater awareness of the wine and its quality The goal is to determine if we like the wine Wine will enhance the flavor of food Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
31 What are the senses we use to appreciate wine? The sense of sight The sense of taste The sense of smell And to some extent, the tacgle or touch sense Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
32 What does the sense of smell do for us? The sense of smell is very complex Olfactory area is located at the upper end of the nasal passage Odors reach Olfactory through an extremely narrow opening in the nose Odors also reach Olfactory through the pharynx, which connects nose to the throat Olfactory has millions of receptors Everyone perceives odors at different levels or amounts Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
33 What does the sense of taste do for us? Taste of sweet, from the )p of tongue Taste of salt, from the sides, just beyond the )p of the tongue Taste of sour, from the sides of tongue Taste of bi]er, from the top/back of tongue Taste of Umami, words such as savour, essence, pungent and meaty are used to describe Umami. Due to the posi)on on the tongue, sweet is perceived first, then salt, sour and bi]er Everyone has a different threshold level for detec)ng flavors Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
34 What does the sense of touch do for us? Tac)le senses are, heat, cold, astringency, fullness or viscosity Mucous membranes are sensi)ve to the dehydra)ng effect of alcohol Tannins create a different sense of dryness, coagula)ng of saliva Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
35 Visual Impression or sight s importance Is the color what you expect for the wine you are tas)ng? Does the wine have the right color intensity? Color hue, does it have the right color hue? Does the color make you angcipate the wine and want to experience it further? Is the wine cloudy? Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines

38 Temperature and its affect on wine Wine needs to be at its correct temperature to show its true character Wine complexity will not show correctly at the wrong temperature Smell, vola)le compounds are released more quickly as temperature rises Taste; sugar, acidity, tannins, carbonic acid, and alcohol are temperature related Warmth reinforces impression of sweetness and acidity Cooler temperature emphasize bi]erness and tannic astringency Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
39 Common wine-tas)ng terms Tas)ng Chart Heady Very sweet Sweet Soq Dry Alcohol degree Generous Vinous Light Weak Flat Watery Flat Fresh Green Sour Tart Hard Wine Hard Hot Bi)ng Sharp Astringent Bi]er Ace)c Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
40 Sugar s affect on taste of wine Dry means there is no detectable sweetness Sweet means there is some percep)on of sweetness up too very sweet Sweetness, alcohol has a slight sweetness therefore high alcohol can give an impression of sweetness Fruity wines can give an impression of sweetness Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
41 Tannins and Bi]erness affect on taste of wine Bi]erness is associated with tannins Bi]erness should not be detected in wine It is sensed on the back of the tongue and back of the throat Tannin comes from skins, therefore tannin is mainly associated with red wines Tannin is the drying sensa)on that covers the teeth, cheeks and gums Tannins can be either, coarse and sandy or fine and smooth. Tannins combine with the protein in your mouth to give a dry sensa)on Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
42 Acidity and salt s affect on the taste of wine Acidity is the tart character in wine Sauvignon Blanc and Rieslings have the most acid or tartness Red wines have lower percep)on of acid or tartness Ports have the lowest percep)on Salt may be perceived at very low level due to minerals in some wine, but only in wines made badly Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
43 Texture in wine, what is it? Texture is the mouth feel Texture is the perceived weight of the wine Some wines such as Sauvignon Blanc will have less weight than an oaked Chardonnay Oak gives wines more weight or texture Ideal mouth feel should be smooth, almost creamy or silky Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
44 Structure in wine, what does it mean? Structure includes, acidity, sugar, bi]erness maybe, tannins (in red wine), alcohol, weight and mouth feel, as well as intensity of fruit flavor There should be balance in all of these components Therefore wines with high sweetness should have good acid to balance the sugar Higher levels of tannins require a higher alcohol level to give more body When a wine is in balance, it can be described as being harmonious Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
45 Judging wine quality, how do I do it? Intensity of flavor means the wine should have bright fruit flavors The fruit aroma should be highly apparent on the nose Balance; are the structural elements there and are they in balance, meaning not one over powers the others Good balance means the wine has harmony Length; does the wine fade fast or does it linger on the palate, prolonging the experience Complexity; means there are layers of flavor A complex wine will have mulgple flavors; spice, coffee, cedar, cherry, strawberry, oak, etc. Flavors in the mouth will change, over Gme, in a complex wine Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
46 O.K. Now what do I do to taste? Pour the wine in a tas)ng glass Look at the color by pusng the glass against a white background Swirl it around, this creates more surface area and provides more aroma Put your nose in the glass and smell Swirl again and taste the wine, hold it in your mouth and draw air through your mouth Think about what you are tas)ng Nichols Winery, Soleil & Terroir Winery, Silver Fox Wines
