Tasting...

for practice. Have my competition in 4 1/2 weeks so I have begun tasting non-stop... twice a week with V, every day on my own - then R throws me spirits once or twice a week. Fun stuff... feel like I'm out of practice on my tasting. Drawing conclusions I wasn't making last summer (poor conclusions), and just really being all over the place. I nailed 4 wines last night (vintage, grape, region/subregion, quality), and got 9 of 11 spirits the other day. So, I'm on the right track. I just need to practice!!!

Good luck with your practice.. You post made me curious about wine competitions. Is there a site or book that explains how they are conducted and the scoring, goal, etc. All the best, Alex
