Then Winetasting 101: Learn the Basics is the right webcast for you. Learn how to "taste" wine rather than just drink it as Master of Wine Peter Marks guides you through the fundamental steps of the wonderful world of wine tasting.

In addition, you will learn the tricks of the trade, including the six S's of wine: see, swirl, smell, sip, savor and spit/swallow (seriously!). You'll receive instruction on spit bucket etiquette-how to use while winetasting, which is a key step in maintaining your balance and composure during extensive winetasting.
In addition, you'll learn:
  • The primary tastes in wine and how they affect a wine's flavor
  • How to taste these primary "tastes" within the mouth
  • What types of characteristics to look for when tasting wine
  • Why one person tastes one flavor and another person tastes a different flavor in the same wine
  • A brief summary of the wine regions of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys
    Don't be intimidated by his title, Master of Wine Peter Marks breaks winetasting down in easy to remember steps with wisdom and good humor. By helping you to determine what characteristics you like best in a wine, this webcast is your first step in broadening your wine drinking scope and, ultimately, enhancing your wine selection and enjoyment process.
