Welcome to wine.unhewn.com, where we delve into the fascinating world of wine. As a beginner or an experienced connoisseur, you're probably wondering what all the fuss is about. Let me tell you - wine tasting is not just about sipping on a glass and declaring it 'good' or 'bad'. No, no! It's an art form that requires patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.
At Unhewn, we're passionate about demystifying the world of wine. We believe that everyone deserves access to this incredible beverage, regardless of their background or expertise. That's why we've created this blog - to share our knowledge, experiences, and insights with you.
When it comes to wine tasting, one of the most daunting tasks is deciphering the labels and terminology. Don't worry - we've all been there! It's like trying to read a foreign language. But fear not, dear reader, for we're here to guide you through this minefield.
Let's start with the basics: what does 'Cabernet Sauvignon' mean? Is it a grape variety or a wine style? And what about those fancy-schmancy labels that say 'oak-aged' or ' Reserve'? Don't worry, we'll break it all down for you in this blog post.
Now that we've covered the basics, it's time to get our hands dirty! Or rather, our noses and tongues. Wine tasting is an experience that requires all five senses - sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing.
So, how do you actually go about wine tasting? Well, first of all, make sure you're in a comfortable environment with minimal distractions. You want to be able to focus on the wine, not your phone or the TV.
