Aromatic Wines
Together we will delve into the exotic world of aromatic wines.
“Rose”, “Apricot”, “Orange Peels”… Those particular aromas are perfume in a wine glass. Mesmerizing on the nose, subtle in the mouth. Tantalize your senses by learning and tasting the likes of Gewurztraminer, Muscat, Torrontes and others. Grow your knowledge following the Quini tasting standard to record your impressions that will set you on a path to a richer wine experience.
Hidden Gems
Be a smart and savvy shopper! The price of wine is influenced by the economic law of markets, just like all other consumer goods. It also has to withstand Mother Nature’s temporal changes in weather and climate. What you end up with are fluctuations in price and quality between wine producing regions. Take advantage of this knowledge and be a consumer in the know.
You are invited to a tasting during which we will explore a few of those regions that offer quality wines at hard to beat prices. You will also walk away with a better understanding of your personal taste, preferences and how to expand this knowledge through proper wine tasting, following the Quini tasting standard.
