EXPAND YOUR PALATE

Wine isn’t something you’re born knowing about. Like any other complex subject, it takes time and experience to understand. Sure, there are plenty of books that offer different methods and approaches to learning about wine but ask anyone in the industry and they’ll tell you—the best way to learn is by tasting.

But what do we mean by tasting? Yes, having a random glass of wine with dinner at home or at a restaurant technically counts—but we're talking about tasting with intention. Sitting down with a wine, free from distractions, and allowing your brain to process the aromas, colors, and flavors does more than just impress your Coors Light–drinking friends. It helps you identify styles, notes, and textures that might go unnoticed when casually sipping in a crowd or in front of the TV.

We love helping our customers build their wine knowledge. That’s why we employ expert Consultants—to guide your selections and enhance your experience. If you’re interested in wine and want to go beyond just “picking something nice,” we recommend intentional tasting. And we have the perfect way to get started.
