Armed with your tasting knowledge, it is time to look over the tasting sheets provided in this book and begin to assess which flavors appear to you most, while adding some of your own descriptors. The more often you do this, along with the greater variety of wine you try, you will grow your grape knowledge and recognize their individual characteristics. Peruse the wine grape section for more details of what you might find, and compare that to your notes. In time, you will not only taste and assess wine like a pro, you may become one in your own right. After all, understanding wine is not simply a talent; it comes from experience and can be learned as your palette matures.
