How to taste at home
- Chilling: put the bottles in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or in iced water (half ice, half water) for 20 minutes. Never in the freezer.
- Glass: taste from a white-wine glass rather than a narrow flute – this is how the aromas open up, especially in the barrel-aged wines.
- Order: open the bottles in the order given in the notes, and pour 100–120 ml for everyone in each round.
- Pace: leave 15–20 minutes between wines, and do not change the glasses – it is interesting to go back to the previous one.
- Bread and water: neutral bread and room-temperature water between rounds keep the palate fresh.
