Second day : Study the difference among grapes <White wine> (Oct.8)


Theme of this time.
  1. Review of the first day.
  2. History of wine
  3. From grapes to wine
  4. Tasting
It was rainy and cold today. The terrace of the restaurant Enoteca is thoroughly wet.

This time again we had a kind of lecture like at school. We studied the history and how to make wines.

They are white wines tasted today.
This time we did Blind Tast by masking labels to find out the name of each wine. We checked the color very carefully, and smelled and tasted the wines. It was a serious task, not like the last time. We just tasted them and did not drink them not to get drunken. Each piece of papers under the glass is numberd 1,2,3...6 from left to right. I couldn't get the characteristics of the number 3 wine, even I tried a few times. But each times I got different impression and I got confused.

After tasting I drank all the remainer up with a relief. I was tired but really enjoyed myself.
