Today, our Chef Training class had its third “Sommelier Lesson”.
The lesson took place in a wine cellar with many wine bottles in the wall shelves.
After tasting 3 different kinds of wines with their labels hidden, students tried to guess each wine’s characteristics and grapes used.
Even with wines you are familiar with, it can be difficult to tell the difference when you compare with other wines.
Each student made comments based on colors, aromas, flavors and wine legs. Everyone was having a good time learning, listening to some students’ unique expressions.
When a student asked the professor which wine he recommended, he replied, “It depends on the food, companion or location. I’d choose a good and expensive wine if I’m with a lady, but I stick with inexpensive ones with guys so we can drink a lot!” So true!
