Welcome to our Blind Wine Tasting series, "Vino Blind!" In our 6th episode, I've got a white wine in front of me, and I have no idea what it is. I'll use sight, smell, and taste to try and guess the grape, the place, the quality, and how old the wine is. I'll use the same principles used in WSET or The Court of Master Sommeliers, so this video will be very helpful if you're studying for any exams. It's also just a good exercise to help you learn how to taste wine better. Will I get it right? Watch to find out!
