Savoring the Season: Spring Wine Tasting Tips and Tricks
We're a painting and wine studio, so OF COURSE we love some wine... But a crisp spring wine on a perfect spring day? Who doesn't love that?!
-- Try Something New
Spring is the perfect time to try something new. Experiment with different grape varieties or regions that you haven't explored before. You might discover a new favorite wine that you never would have tried otherwise.
-- Chill Your Whites
Spring wines are often chilled, so make sure to refrigerate your white wines before serving. A chilled white wine will be more refreshing and help balance out the warmer weather.
-- Pair with Seasonal Foods
Spring is the season of fresh produce, and there's no better way to enjoy it than by pairing your wine with seasonal foods. Lighter whites pair well with salads, seafood, and grilled vegetables, while reds pair well with heartier dishes like lamb and beef.
-- Serve in Appropriate Glasses
The shape and size of your wine glass can affect the taste and aroma of your wine. Use a narrow, tulip-shaped glass for whites and a larger, rounder glass for reds. This will help enhance the flavors and aromas of your wine.
-- Take Notes
Wine tasting is all about discovering new flavors and aromas. Take notes on what you like and don't like about each wine. This will help you remember which wines you enjoyed and which ones you might want to try again in the future.
-- Don't Forget the Bubbles
Spring is the season of celebrations, and what better way to celebrate than with a bottle of bubbly? Sparkling wines are perfect for toasting special occasions or just enjoying on a sunny afternoon.
-- Take Your Time
Wine tasting is meant to be enjoyed, so take your time with each wine. Sip slowly, savor the flavors, and take in the aromas. This will help you appreciate each wine to its fullest.
