Anthony runs wine tasting classes and regional wine tours in the Languedoc region but was kind enough to run our own little mini class in the front room. First of all he compared different basic wine varieties and what to look for to distinguish them. We had loads of fun going through the whites and reds and then spitting out. We did manage to drink a bit though at the end when the tasting had finished.
Starting with Sauvignon we looked at the colour, followed by the intensity of the first smell. After this we took a good sniff and trie to tell what type of smells were present. Next came the tasting and spitting out. Once we had been given a few pointers it was really fascinating trying to see what made up each different wine variety. Anthony also gave us some history behind each producers wine and the land and different production methods used.
So not only can I teach you a bit of Scuba but can pass on some insider wine knowledge as well!
