Going to a wine fair or large tasting where there’s lots of product to taste? Trying to taste everything is plain silly and unproductive. Here’s how to manoeuver this event and get the most out of it. Take a few moments beforehand to plan your attack and decide with the program what you want to taste. Focus on a specific region, grape variety, style or vintage. Take a break after every 4-5 wines. Drink plenty of water between tasting. Nibble often. Make notes so you remember what you tasted. Most importantly, DON’T SWALLOW. Bringing along your own plastic cup to spit into is a great idea as spittoons are usually scarce and it beats fighting the crowd. Enjoy!
