John Ania says that if you can drink black coffee, you’ll never be a super taster, as it requires a delicate palette. However, don’t get depressed if you can’t taste hints of coriander, cauliflower, and other ingredients in wine. Consider examining four characteristics of a wine to begin with: tannins, alcohol, acidity, and fruit. To swirl wine like a pro, try moving from the elbow instead of the wrist. To get a feel for the astringent effect of high tannin content, similar to “cotton mouth,” chew on some grape skins, because then all of the senses are enhanced as they are raw. Tasting is smell-dependent, so prep your nose and use it properly. Even if you don’t have a cold or congestion, doing a quick nasal irrigation the morning before tasting wine will do wonders for enhancing taste sensitivity. There has been some evidence to show that the nostrils alternate in workload, and you’ll almost always find one has significantly more airflow than the other. After swirling, insert your nose in the glass and tilt your head to either side to test both nostrils.

John Ania says that Merlot was once very popular and thus overplanted to meet demand. Pinot Noir is now the current fashion, producing the same problem. Consider wine from up-and-coming regions like Canada and Portugal, Chile and Argentina. Taste all of these to get the true understanding of red wines. It’s quite hard to go wrong with Malbec and Tempranillo from the Mendoza and Jujuy regions of the latter.

John Ania says if you want to get involved in the wine community go to the barrel tastings. Getting involved in the wine drinking community is not only a great way to forge lasting friendships with people of similar interests, but will help cultivate you on many different cultures and the history of wine itself. You would be surprised how much human history can be discerned from simply following the vine trail. There is so much to be offered in the way of wine that it can sometimes be dizzying, just remember that you can take all the time you need to soak in the information, as well as the alcohol, at your own pace.
