How a tasting goes
1
Lightest first
Whites, then rosé, then reds, then anything sweet: each wine is poured in that order.
2
Look, swirl, smell
A short word on what to look for, then the wine does the talking.
3
Taste and compare
Spit or swallow, both are fine. Water and bread are on the counter.
4
Take home what you liked
Every bottle poured is in the racks, and the ticket price comes off.
