Not all are green 🟢 - Live Class June 10, 3:00 PM EDT

Here's what happens when you stop being sensory curious.

And it almost cost me the chance to attend an amazing tasting experience.🍷

I hadn't signed up for this tasting because I have little affinity for this varietal. However, when I was offered a free ticket, I hesitated and accepted "to be polite."

Here I was, in the Sensory Theater of the Robert Mondavi Institute, seated in front of 12 glasses, filled with a different Cabernet Sauvignon sample.

For me, Cabernet Sauvignon is both 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵: two descriptors that make me usually say "no, thanks."

If you have tasted different varietal wines for some time, chances are that you have also built representations of certain varietal wines.

Maybe:

• Banana candy for Beaujolais nouveau

• Oaky and buttery for Chardonnay

• Grapefruit and peach for Sauvignon blanc

But this tasting changed my mind.

These 12 wines tasted all different.

Yes, there were two, which I described as "green and astringent."

But the other samples had different flavor profiles.

• Some were floral and spicy

• Some were dark berries with sweet aromatics

• Some were very complex, with floral, spicy, chocolate, and fruity flavors.

That's why I'm excited to host 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 next Wednesday.
