Incredible Wine Tour

Fantastic time. Being from California, I've been on quite a few wine tours but still had no clue what I was doing during tastings... Now, at least I feel like I know what I'm doing! There is a simple three step assessment that we were taught on this tour: 1) viewing the wine and understanding what the color, stems, and drips mean, 2) smelling the aroma of the wine's three different layers, and 3) tasting the wine by assessing the full impact on your entire mouth and what that says about the wine. We hit the Chianti & Castle tour. The lunch spot was a bit fairy-tale like. Could not have asked for a more enjoyable, educational time that we happened to drink a lot of wine! Thank you!
