Preparing the Palate: Apples


With summer slowly approaching (I live in Michigan) it is time to prepare to enjoy some white wines.  One tasting note that you will see in white wines can be the flavor of apples.  It has a Granny Smith apple taste or this wine has a fresh cut apple aroma. 


It is time to visit your local store and pick up a variety of apples.  Pick up a Fugi, Honey Crisp, Golden and/or Red Delicious, Jazz, and sample each one for its unique flavor and texture.  This is a fun activity to add to your next wine tasting party or even a fun day with the kids.  Have each person write down their flavor description and texture experience to each apple. 



Sampling these fruits on a regular base can help you to prepare your palate when trying to review your favorite white wine.
