How to Describe Wine Like a Pro
Wine is subjective and we may prefer different wines. And spoiler alert: there is no right or wrong answer. The key is to be able to describe what you like about a wine. By describing what you like, you can then share that information to a sommelier in a restaurant or a sales rep at a wine store after which they can introduce you to other wines that might be similar in style. In this episode, we cover some basic tips so that you can describe wine like a pro.
