How to Develop a Taste for Wine – A Beginners Guide

You might say, we are all on our own, personal wine journey. You may discover wine at a young age, or not start appreciating it until you are aged as fine as one. Whatever time you choose to enjoy wine more completely, you are likely in search of the best way to fully appreciated the complexities of both the process of making wine, and the end product. Learning how to properly taste wine can launch you into a category above the average wine tourist, as you will begin to accurately assess quality and build your taste memory and profile of wine varietals, vintages and regions. Developing a mature sense of taste for wine comes from simply drinking and contemplating many wines. Luckily, the Napa Valley is the perfect place to exercise your taste buds and taste wines not only from this region, but from around the world. At Priority Wine Pass, we partner with wineries that pride themselves on educating the public in the most fun and relaxing ways possible. Here are our suggestions for wineries and wine bars that will boost your palette to the next level.
