  Pairing Wine with Words: The Language of Wine and Tasting Notes

  
  

  Description:
  

  When it comes to tasting wine, your palate is like a fingerprint, and we're all sensitive to different flavors and aromas in the glass. How, then, do we effectively use language to describe something subjective, and how do we accurately translate such a description from one language to another? This session will give an overview of one of the more fascinating subcategories of culinary translation: wine. We will establish a baseline for employing standard terminology in wine translation, and then conclude with a deductive tasting of four different wines and hors d'oeuvres.
