We had our wine tasting at Foley estate vineyard and winery in Santa Ynez Valley and paid $10 for 5-6 glasses of wines, that include chardonnay(2-3),a dry rose and Pinot noir (2).
Wine is said to be an acquired taste - The more you taste and understand the more you'll get to appreciate it. Well, I can't seem to understand its subtle complexities just yet, but I overheard from those other group of wine drinker that Foley's pinot noir was the best.
I think Wine tasting procedure is almost the same as coffee tasting procedure.
1.) Tilt from side to side- This so you can see its appearance.
2.) Sniff/Smell - to evaluating the aroma
3.) Sip - Gently roll around inside your mouth
4.) Spit/Enjoy
I might not appreciate alcoholic drink that much, wine on this instance but Foley surely has a modern and spacious tasting room and a beautiful vineyard scenery.
That's All!

i love wine although ang epkto nyan ay nakakahilo but nevertheless sarap kasi yan in combination with fish or meat meals. fun shots aline.
oh, i really have not much experience with wines, i like to taste but not really drink. I wish i could try that chardonnay though.
I drink selected wine lang. Para ngang same yung procedure nya sa coffee tasting (I had the formal one while dining in Starbucks).
it looks like you really enjoyed the wine tasting. obvious sa 3rd pic. Hehe!
who would not want such activity. but let it be done late afternoon. hehehe...
I've never really developed much of a taste for wine, but it looks like you had a lot of fun! :D
I remember doing the same thing in Napa Valley in 2002. But here in Pinas, since wine is more expensive, we settle for beer na lang and peanuts for pulutan. Hehe.
I miss Napa :(
I love Pinot Noirs, next is Viognier.
was still underaged when i last visited some napa valley vineyards so i wasn't really allowed to taste. di na bale, i will be able taste all the wine i can the next time i go to napa hahaha. but of course, by this time i've already tasted lots thanks to bar management way back in college lol

Happy weekend Aline!
