Why do it? Well I may be a communication professional in the wine industry, but that doesn't mean I know everything there is to know about wine. Which I've recently discovered is a complex, fascinating subject.
So to prepare as much as possible, and to try and enjoy myself along the way, I'm going to be a tourist in my own backyard and visit as many wineries as possible between now and the 21st November (and meet with some experts in the industry). There are so many on my doorstep that I never have the chance to visit (because I'm working in the wine industry but not living it:), I couldn't think of a better way to practise and improve my tasting skills. So first a bit of work, and then off to winery one - still to be confirmed.
For interest: I will be using this simple yet useful Aroma Wheel to help me with my taste descriptions for red and white wines.
