The Best - The 5 Steps of Wine Tasting - Sour Grapes

Welcome back to The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast! Today, Forrest Kelly and our resident wine curmudgeon, Sour Grapes, guide you through the essential five steps of wine tasting, all while navigating the unexpected chaos of a bowling alley next to a wine cellar. Yes, you heard that right!

Step 1: See. Hold your wine up to the light and take a good look. If you can't see through it, either it's a robust red wine or you forgot to remove the cap.

Step 2: Swirl. Create a mini tornado in your glass, but be careful not to spill it on your date—unless you need a quick escape plan!

Step 3: Sniff. Get your nose in there like you're identifying a mystery smell in your fridge. If you catch a whiff of wet dog, send it back. Otherwise, enjoy the delightful aromas.

Step 4: Sip. Take a small sip and let it cover your tongue. Remember, it's a sip, not a gulp—we're tasting here, not playing a drinking game.

Step 5: Savor. Let the wine linger like a great story. If the taste disappears faster than Sour Grapes' hairline, it might not be the best wine.

Join us and elevate your wine-tasting game with these simple yet crucial steps. Remember, this is Sour Grapes pouring grumpy wisdom one vintage at a time.
