SALE! ROSEBUD -- $17.29
DID YOU KNOW. . . that there's always FREE wine tasting here? Did you know that my winery is one of the few left that still offers FREE wine tasting? Do you know what to expect from a "wine tasting"? Do you know what questions to ask? So, here's some information you might take with you to your first wine tasting experience.
First, I think you might want to know ahead of time what it's going to cost and what is offered? Most wineries offer flights. A flight is a pre-selected number of wines; usually around five, ranging from white to red and dry to sweet. Here, at my winery, it's still FREE, and here's why. The people who know everything there is to know about wine and wine-making, know that after two or three tastes your pallet can no longer discern the fine nuances of additional tastes. So, here at El Paso Winery, I offer two FREE tastes; but, for an additional dollar a taste, you can choose as many as you'd like from my daily menu list.
What to expect? Well, you should mention that this is your first time tasting; or, that this is your first time tasting wines from New York. Two very different topics. Then, I always ask if you'd like to taste white or red, dry or sweet. If you don't know, I always ask if I might select something for you. If "yes", my first selection will always be a delicate semi-dry white. Then, I'll ask you not to concentrate so much on the taste but to concentrate on the level of sweetness on your pallet. Now I'll know if I should offer drier or sweeter wines -- using your two FREE tastes to introduce your pallet to WINE TASTING 101.
I think I'll continue this subject next month. So if you decide to come back to El Paso Winery one day, bring some questions. I can't guarantee I'll have all the answers but I'll surely have answers about my wines -- at least about my 100% New York "cool" climate wines. Pretty cool, huh?
