I hope you haven’t allowed the ‘rituals’ of wine tasting to keep you from exploring many types of wine. Learning about and trying different types of wine can really be a lot of fun. It can be a nice way to spend an evening with friends and family sharing a bottle of wine that you just discovered.

The rituals really do serve a purpose and aren’t that hard once you understand what they are and why wine drinkers do them.

One of the most intimidating rituals is the wine tasting. This might look weird to someone who isn’t that interested in wine but it really can help you to not only get the most satisfaction from your wine, but also to learn how to describe wine so that the next time you want to buy a bottle you will have an easier time conveying what you are looking for.

Wine tasting is made up of 3 major steps. No one expects you to be an expert but you can easily learn enough to follow these steps the next time you are trying some wine.

Louis Sipp Sylvaner 2007 12.5% alcohol about $14.50

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials.
Description: Louis Sipp is a member of Tyflo, an association of Alsatian winegrowers who are keen to lessen the impact of their activities on the environment, and to market healthy products. Currently, the vineyards are in the process of conversion towards full organic certification.
Tasting Note: Louis Sipp shows what can be done with Sylvaner when care is taken with each and every step of production. This one contains bright aromas of lime, spring flowers and mineral. Dry and crisp, this has a very tasty finish. Enjoy with grilled prawns or poached salmon. (VINTAGES panel, July 2008) And now for my review.

It is however important to note that the resveratrol constituent in red wine is very minimal thus it might be the case of long term use of red wine.  Perhaps the most common source of resveratrol is peanuts, although it is still in very low concentrations, but is much higher compare to certain berries.

Studies show that using resveratrol will substantially reduce cases of memory loss, lengthen tolerance, fight aging and the most recent studies show that it can actually combat retroviruses like herpes simplex and HIV.

The final meal centered around grilled merguez; fatty, spicy lamb sausages. The wine was quite appley, very refreshing, and lightly acidic. On the downside it wasn’t very long. The side dish was sliced eggplant marinated in a little olive oil, spiced with cayenne pepper, ground ginger, and onion powder. On the positive side the wine seemed to take on its own oiliness. On the negative side the eggplant was overspiced with respect to the wine but some apple-lime flavors managed to break through.
