OPEN YOUR SENSES.
Taste
beyond
the label.
Blind tasting practice.
One glass at a time.
Without the label,
there’s more to discover.
Put the name, origin and price aside.
Observe the colour. Find the aromas.
Put the taste into your own words.
Your impressions are the beginning of a tasting note.
You don’t need a collection.
Start with a glass.
- 01
Hide the label.
Ask someone to pour a wine without showing you the bottle. Give yourself a chance to notice it without knowing its name.
- 02
Take a closer look.
Record colour, aromas, palate and overall impressions. Choose illustrated aromas and add your own comments.
- 03
Make your guess.
Use your observations to suggest a grape, country or region. Note the clues that led you there.
- 04
Look back.
Reveal the wine and compare it with your answer. Revisit both correct and mistaken guesses before your next tasting.
One glass tells a story.
Two reveal a difference.
Compare two entries, countries or grape profiles.
Look for shared aromas and differences in palate.
Return to the comments you wrote in the moment.
- Country with country
- Compare your notes for the same grape from different countries.
- A profile with a wine
- See how one memorable bottle compares with your own notes for a grape or country.
- Wine with wine
- Bring together tastings from different days. Compare your records rather than relying on memory.
Keep the label.
Remember the tasting.
Bring your bottle photos, aromas and impressions together.
Find a wine by its name, country or grape.
Return to what you noticed, whenever you need it.
Before your first glass.
Can I record wines with the label visible?
Yes. Open tastings can also become material for comparison and future blind tasting practice.
