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.


Presenter:

Adam Sachs

Adam has spent the past twenty years working in the food and wine industry. He is a Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW), Certified Sommelier, and holds the WSET III award in Wines. He also holds an MA in Translation Studies from the University of Puerto Rico. When he is not working on his latest project, he can usually be found tending to his small urban food forest of a garden in New Jersey, or walking around town with his son and yellow labrador, Nora.
