Wine Tasting Tips
|
ZAP events are non-smoking and fragrance-free.
Eat while attending this wine tasting. Your body will thank you for it.
Be courteous to others who wish to taste.
Please step back from the tasting table to do your personal evaluation. Others can then step forward to receive a sample of the wine.
Step to the side to talk with the winemaker or winery representative.
Swirl the wine around in the glass.
Look at the color and smell the aromas.
Take a sip (small if swallowing, larger if spitting) and consider the flavors and the after taste.
Empty your glass into the containers provided for the purpose, located on the tasting tables. Rinse your glasses with water before tasting the next wine. Drink water or eat bread at the time to clear your palate.
Ask questions and enjoy your conversations.
Be safe.
Limit the amount you drink if you are driving.
Designate a driver or use public transportation.
Thank you!

Plan to taste with a few goals in mind:
|
Follow the terroir trail: Taste wines made from every growing region.
Discover the wines of new ZAP members.
Seek out styles to fit every part of your life:
Stand alone Zins,Zins for meals, Zins for the outdoors or take-out food, dinner parties or grand receptions,
Zins for dessert or sipping slowly while you’re curled up reading by a fire.
In the mood for Chinese, Italian, Indian, Mexican or Greek?
Set out to find specific Zins to match the flavors you love to eat.
Engage and talk with the growers and winemakers at tastings (that’s why they are there!)
Write notes all over your program and plan to visit your favorites, soon.
