Default Cleansing the Palate Essential for Relishing Wines

Cleansing the palate is a common strategy in wine tasting as well as fine dining. This is recommended because flavors of a particular dish/drink usually overwhelm the senses. This in turn, prevents you from enjoying taste of the next dish/drink.

To savor the taste of different drinks or dishes, cleansing your palate in-between is important. Here are few suggestions that will allow you to enjoy flavors of different drinks or meals. If you require additional information, getting in touch with Dial a Bottle Calgary can be a great idea.

• If you are planning to attend a wine tasting party, ensure that you possess a clean taste of smell and sense. Avoid smoking or drinking coffee at least an hour before tasting the wine. If you want to contact any Dial a Bottle service and enjoy wines at your home, implement the same strategy.
• Additionally, do not use any strong-smelling perfume. Using a strong perfume can overwhelm your senses, thus preventing you from appreciating the taste of wine. For the same reason, avoid brushing your teeth before leaving your home for attending the party.
• During the wine tasting session, opt for lighter wines initially. Gradually, move on to richer or heavier wines.
• Do not taste wines hurriedly. Rather, invest time in tasting wines and appreciating their flavors. Once you are done tasting a particular wine, cleanse your palate, before moving on to the next.

Don't forget to sterilize the palate with a "Trou Normand" between
different wines. In this wy you ensure no confusing blending of tastes
between the various cuvees. What's more, you put a stop to bacterial
infections that can be caused by poor cellar hygiene.
