Here it is ladies and gentlemen. My first VIDEO BLOG, or VLOG.
I’m still here in Israel and taking advantage of my brother’s technical expertise as well as his super cool video camera. This is THE FIRST vlog so please bare with me. I hope future VLOGs will be less rough, more concise and hopefully extraordinarily compelling.
Being that it is the first VLOG I wanted to talk a bit ABOUT TASTING or more specifically tast-ERS. There is some interesting research on the topic and I have my own little theory.
Tim Hanni Created the “BUDOMETER” briefly detailing the following:
- Tolerant tasters -- fewer taste buds
- Sensitive tasters -- more taste buds
- Hypersensitive tasters
- Sweet tasters
To take the Wine tasting Continuum test to determine what type of taster you are click here.
winebusiness.com article divides tasters by number/shape of taste buds as follows:
- Hyper (Super) Taster
- Regular Taster
- NON taster
And I, WTG have my own little theory of tasters as follows:
- Beginner tasters -- seek out “smooth” wine
- Intermediate tasters -- like fruit forward oaked wine
- Advanced tasters -- prefer balanced wine
Following my (not too brief) discussion on tasters, I proceeded to review the 2008 Dalton Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (link to 2007 version).
In the future I will try to do less talking and more WINE TASTING.
Sooo…without further ado, WTG Video Blog #1 (and I guess #2)…
Happy VIDEO Wine Tasting!
