A Couple of Wine Notes

21-Nov-2005
I made note of a couple of tips during the Pinto Noir Tasting at Cornucopia.  To give you a bit of background my "instructors" were Josh Wesson, Co-CEO of Best Cellars, and James Nevison who, among other things, is the co-author of Have a Glass. 
 
Lesson 1:  The three top things that can damage a wine, listed in order –
  1. Light
  2. Vibration
  3. Sustained and rapid changes in heat

I wasn’t aware that light and vibration were more damaging than heat!

 

Lesson 2:  Color changes as wines age –

  • White wines gain color with age
  • Red wines lose color with age

There you go!  A couple of wine tips for the day.
