Learning to Taste Wine With Martin

Bryant Martin | August 15, 2016April 9, 2020

I hear it way too often, that tasting wine is a load of bull and it all taste basically the same, and that it’s all just in the mind of the person tasting it. Okay so where I heard that from was clearly not from people who even likes wine; much less know anything about it. Everyone’s taste differs, so they might not like it and categorizes all wine as equally terrible. But wine tasting is an art; you must learn it to at the very least truly appreciate wine. I am trying to be elitist or anything, I am just trying to say that some things takes time, patients and discipline to truly understand and enjoy. Even I had to learn how to taste wine, and at first I didn’t even get it myself, but after learning and a bit of practice (a lot of drinking), I finally manage to truly know the taste of wine, the good and the bad. So now I will share to you the first step to truly appreciate wine, the basics of how to taste it.

You must first understand that good and bad wine, unless if the wine is tainted, is completely subjective. One could call a $10 bottle of wine as one of the best wines they’ve tasted, at the same time call a bottle of Petrus as “not very good” though unlikely. People like what they like and dislikes what they dislike, if you disagree you may do so but still respect their choice.

There are two main parts to tasting wine, the taster’s objective view, and the information of the wine. First off is the taster objective view. This is the most basic of basic introduction so nothing too detailed will be talked about.

Smell is where 50% of the taste of wine comes from, it is essential to smell the aroma of the wine, swirling it if necessary to release more of it. Look for characteristics of the aroma of the wine, like Reduction; the smell of boiled cabbage or something similar characterizes this, its presents will determine some of the wine’s flavor; where higher presence indicates an almost pungent trait, while a lesser presence will characterize a complex fruit flavor or Minerality in its flavor.

Oxidation can be seen by a brownish tint in the wine’s color and often times gives off a sort of caramel or coffee aroma. Too high of a level of oxidation will greatly reduce any fruitiness of the flavor.

There is more to know about Smell, but this should be enough to get you started, let’s talk about your palate. Simple enough we need to look for the following when tasting: Sweetness, Acidity, Tannin, Body and Finish.

Sweetness, not to confuse with the fruitiness of the wine itself, sweetness is due to the residual sugar that remains after fermentation. Wines like Medium-dry and medium sweet wines sweetness is quite detectable, while wines classed as off-dry has a more subtle sweetness to it. Again I oversimplify this.

Acidity is the source of wine’s freshness; you can see how acidic wine is by seeing how long your mouth water after drinking a sip. Sweetness can mask acidity and vice versa.

Tannin is what causes the dry feeling in your mouth when drinking wines; it comes from the skin of grapes. The presents of tannin are part of the texture of the wine, the longer the dry sensation the higher the level of tannin there is. Atlanta’s electricians have many ideas on how to improve our wiring system in our wine cellar.

Body is the overall impression of wine to you, the stronger the alcohol, higher the tannin and flavor the more “full bodied it is”.

Finally the Finish is the taste that remains after swallowing, how is it? What do you taste? And how long does it last. The longer the taste last the better the quality of wine (if the taste is good that is).

This is an over-simplified way of explaining how to taste wine, if you truly want to go into deeper depth, I suggest finding a wine tasting event and experiencing the real thing.

Characteristics of a Successful Business Owner

Bryant Martin | August 12, 2016March 17, 2018

I’ve been in the wine business for many years, but in life, not just in business, certain traits are essential in order to become at the very least “Possibly” successful. Here are the eleven traits that helped me to succeed in the wine business and that one should have in running any type of business:

Able to see the big picture

If you would like to get anywhere in life, you must be able to see the big picture of your things, seeing things in a large perspective, the overall result or direction of things if you will. Seeing the big picture allows you to not be confined to your own perspective. Lean not on your on your own understanding as they say.

Be Focused

Even if you are the smartest or most talented man in the world, you will never be able to achieve or finish anything if you have no focus in what you are doing, knowing where and what to focus in life is essential for not just a successful but a happy life.

Have Creativity

I once read a quote which said “Creativity is intelligence having fun”, if you are creative you can imagine innovative or at the very least fun ways to solve problems. Good businesses are born from innovative ideas; innovative ideas are born from creative people. Carpet cleaning company in Salt Lake City says that creativity was very important for their business growth.

Be Realistic

Often times we think this statement as limiting, it can be if you think of it as such. But by “be realistic” what I am trying to say is to look at what you have right now, the resources that you can use. Make creative innovative ideas that can be built with what you can get your hands on.

Be Strategic

You must look at your surroundings and situation in a way that you can plan out things, it is important to have a direction in life in order to be successful. In business strategy is essential to keep being competitive in the market.

Explore Every Possibility

Once you have the traits above, you will be able to see all the possibilities. It is important to explore each possibility in order to achieve the best results. If Edison didn’t explore all the possible ways on how not to create a light bulb he would have not found one of the ways to make a light bulb.

Learn to Reflect

Be it mistakes or success, it is important to review what you have learned and how you could make things better.

Question what is popular

Is it a Fad? Why is it a popular? And should I just go with the flow and follow the crowd? Are good questions, it falls back to possibilities and creativity, also if popular thinking is wrong.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help

You are not superman, if you need help or input you shouldn’t be afraid or ashamed in asking for help.

Think of others

If all your thoughts is just about you and your needs you will never be able to succeed, if you wish to truly succeed in life and business find a problem that we all face and make something to make it better. Most if not all entrepreneurs who are successful did this.

Always think of the bottom-line

We go back to the first trait; we look at the big picture of things and see where they go; to the finality of things. Be it peace or just a service that makes the life of one or many better.

And here’s a few words from the man himself
