Wine Tasting 101: Understanding Taste vs. Aroma - Thursday April 16 at 6:30pm

Unlock the foundations of sensory evaluation with “Wine Tasting 101: Understanding Taste vs Aromas”, an immersive and enlightening class led by internationally acclaimed sommelier Bertil Jean-Chronberg at Bonde Fine Wine.

Over 120 minutes, learn to distinguish what your nose perceives from what your palate truly tastes, and gain a solid understanding of how these two sensory worlds interact to shape your wine experience.

What to Expect:

• Learn the essential difference between aromas (olfaction) and taste (gustation), and how each contributes to wine perception.
• Practical exercises to train your senses, develop aromatic memory, and identify key flavor components.
• Guided tasting of selected wines to explore the roles of sweetness, acidity, bitterness, tannins, and aromatic complexity.

Whether you are beginning your wine journey or refining your sensory skills, this class offers far more than a simple tasting: it is a structured, interactive, and eye-opening exploration of how we truly experience wine. With Bertil’s expertise, clarity, and warm teaching style, each step becomes a discovery of your own senses.
Leave with a sharper palate, a deeper understanding of wine’s sensory architecture, and the pleasure of sharing a memorable, enriching, and confidence-building experience.
