Spice for August
This tasting on August 11th will discuss the aspect of spice and how it affects wine. You are sure to leave with a greater understanding of how to purchase wine YOU will love in the future.
If you can imagine your own spice rack, going down the line from Allspice to Cardamom to Marjoram, you’ll likely be able to find spices in wine that highlight that flavor. And interestingly, there is a likely fundamental chemical similarity between the flavors expressed in that spice, and what you taste in a wine!
In general, oak, and particularly new oak can impart many of these tastes to a wine, and one of the reasons that oak is often called a vintner’s “spice rack.” These spices can include the aforementioned vanilla and cloves, but also aromas of smoke, spice, butterscotch, caramel, and coconut.
Once you have learned what your preferred level and type of spice you prefer in wine, you can better explore our wines to find what you will like.
If you can’t make it to Roanoke for the class, sign up for our newsletter where we will give you information on the flavor aspects each month.
