Your step by step pairing class
You will be an insider tonight learning how to match food and wine, legends and history of the “Nectar of the Gods”. Feel free to ask all the curiosities and information during your intimate wine ABC class together.
Firstly, we will focus on wine tasting taking a little time to discover the quantity and sensations given from the four main tastes that our mouth is able to distinguish: sweet, acid, salt, bitter followed by sparkling sensations, tannins, alcohol, smoothness, intensity of taste persistency, intensity of flavour persistency, body.
How to taste wine
For food we’d focus on 4 main tastes: sweetness, acidity, minerality, bitterness followed by quantity of fat, greasiness, zestfulness, spicy, persistency of taste and scent. For acidity and bitterness, we’d always need to talk about sour trend flavour and bitter trend flavour.
The best way to create harmonic balance between food and wine is to look for a contrast of flavours. For a sensation given from food, we’ll select a wine that can offer opposite sensations in order to create a balance.
