Being relatively new to the world of wine, I realize there’s so much to learn about the art of wine tasting. I’ve visited a few wine shops and wineries for tastings, but I hadn’t really been taught the proper steps involved. So, I took matters into my own hands and Googled “how to taste wine.” With endless information out there, I decided to keep it simple—for now.
The wine I chose from our local shop was New Age Rosé from Argentina—a perfect pick for my wine tasting experience.
Aroma-I sensed berries of an unknown variety, while experts specifically identified (raspberries) I realize I could be more precise in my descriptions.
Taste-My palate picked up sweet, berry, tart, and citrus notes (experts mention sugar, red fruits, and violet flowers), I have never tasted violet flowers so how was I supposed to know that? 😊
The Finish-I described the finish as fruity and light-bodied, while experts noted an (effervescent quality)—it was a bit bubbly, come to think of it.
So, how do I feel about my attempt at wine tasting? Overall, I think I did pretty well—I correctly picked up on the berry notes and agreed with the pros that the wine was sweet. I know there’s still a lot to learn and plenty of skills to develop, but I’m excited to keep honing my wine tasting abilities. It’s a journey I’m eager to continue, and I have a feeling it’s going to be a lot of fun along the way!

Overall, I found this wine to be really tasty with a light, pleasant sweetness. I think it would be perfect served chilled or over ice. Someone at the wine shop recommended adding fresh berries to the glass, which sounds like a lovely idea. I would definitely buy this wine again—very nice!
