By Elaine Schoch| Vail Daily Verified Have you ever wondered how people come up with tasting notes on the back of a wine bottle? The ones that read something like, “Full-bodied with aromas of green peppercorn, graphite, dark chocolate and black cherry along with hints of vanilla and spice on the finish.” It’s not nonsense but rather a combination of science and art — something we can all learn with a little basic wine 101. This month I attended multiple seminars and events during Taste of Vail, including a session on blind tasting.
By Elaine Schoch| Vail Daily Verified Not all wine festivals are the same. There are a variety and each one offers different tasting opportunities and learning experiences. For instance, some wineries host their own, smaller festivals and some state wine associations host annual events featuring their local wineries. Most people are familiar with the large outdoor or indoor events featuring multiple wineries, each pouring their wines along with local food vendors or chefs to pair with your sips.
By Elaine Schoch| Carpe Travel@ My dad and grandfather were both history professors. When I was growing up, if I asked a simple history question I would get a dissertation. Because, as I was told, “you need to know the context to fully understand”. As annoying as it was, I find myself doing the same thing with my kids, and in my writing. It’s actually one of the reasons I focused in on studying the American wine region and earning my American Wine Expert Certification.
