Do you have a good palate?

 

Have you ever tasted a wine and distinctly remember smelling fruit roll-up or perhaps 5-spice powder? You may have a naturally attuned wine palate that can be developed with 6 simple techniques.
   

Your palate is composed of a series of taste buds, tongue, the interior of your mouth and the most important sensor of all: your nose. Developing a good palate starts with paying close attention to what's going on with these aforementioned sensory areas. If you want a truly remarkable palate, you'll additionally need to take steps to protect and prime your palate. Priming, however, is a thought for another time. In the meantime, try the following 6 techniques to develop your wine palate.

  1. Slow Down
  2. Look and Smell. Then Taste.
  3. Visualize and Isolate Flavors
  4. Identify Flavors and Move On
  5. Pay Attention to Texture and Body
  6. Build a Wine Memory
