Random Notes Enough for you to Bluff!
- All wines smell like fruit. “Fantastic fruit!”
- Yeast + Sugar –> heat + bubble + alcohol
- more ripe, more alcohol!
- Strong Aroma Intensity (can smell below chin) –> New World Wine (i.e. outside Europe),“Powerful fruit! Robust!”
- Weaker Aroma Intensity (can smell above chin) –> European / Old World Wine “Smells elegant! ”
