In just a day or two, these scents will practically jump out at you from the glass of wine.
Isolating and identifying aromas is where people can get intimidated. But did you know that anyone can “train” their nose? It is all about recalling scents you know, familiarizing yourself with different key aromas in wines, and paying attention. One fun and incredibly effective way to train the nose is conducting blind tastings with opaque wine glasses filled with single aromas that can be detected in a wine (a vanilla stick, a piece of cedar, a slice of lemon). Sniff; guess; check your guess against the answer; and continue, grouping red and white aromas in separate sessions. In just a day or two, these scents will practically jump out at you from the glass of wine.
