When you visit the Willamette Valley, you naturally want take a wine country tour of several of the 75 or so vineyards in this part of heaven. I’m going to assume for the moment that you like fine wine but perhaps don’t know enough to talk about it “properly.”
Suggestion: Download and print a glossary of wine terms. Then taste some of the spectacular Oregon wines, you can begin to make comments like:
“I loved the lingering aftertaste.”
Or you could say, “That was an atractive wine.” According to our glossary that is “a slight put down for expensive wines, a slight compliment for o thers.”
The glossary will further advise you on the proper sequence of communicating your perceptions.
a) Colour/clarity of the wine when the wineglass is tilted and its contents viewed against a light source.
b) Smell - (known in the general sense as the “nose”).
c) Taste - (first in the “mouth” or “palate”, followed by the “finish”)
Our limo service, All Events Limo, always has a copy of this glossary. By matching the terms in it with the wines you taste, you will return home not only relaxed but enlightened to the point you can show tell your friends a thing or two about wine tasting.
