Admit it. Sometimes you smell the wine in the restaurant and you have no idea why. We all do it. A cheeky swirl of the glass for emphasis, its commonplace. But how difficult is it to get the basics? Not very, is the answer if The Wine Tasting Shop’s new session has anything to do with it. Comparing Old World (European) wine with New World (everywhere else) you’ll learn about grape variety and blend, so next time they show you the label of the bottle before you pop the cork, tell them you’ll let your tastebuds decide.
