We drink wine with meals to bring out the fruity flavors of the wine and to soften the tannins more.
To taste wine, you swirl it and sniff it first then you sip it so you can get all the flavors of it. You want to swirl it to let air in so it will bring out more flavors of the wine.
In the episode Gary tells us that we need to swirl the wine in our mouth so it lets more air in and more flavors will be brought out so we can taste as many flavors possible. Also by swirling it you coat your entire tongue and mouth with the wine so you can taste more flavors of the wine, and they stay longer because you swirled it all around.
To: Anyone who bought the Toscolo 04 Chianti Classico Reserva.
It tastes absolutely delicious with dark chocolate
It really brings out the fruity flavors.
To: Brittany,
Where did you buy the Toscolo Chianti? I looked at a bunch of places to find anything on that list for section 1 and had no luck.
