"To many people, tasting wine means taking a sip and swallowing immediately. To me, this isn&amp;#039;t tasting. Tasting is something you do with your taste buds. You have taste buds all over your mouth \u2014 on both sides of the tongue, underneath, on the tip, and extending to the back of your throat. The average person has 5,000 taste buds. (That means that some of you have 10,000 and some of you have none!!) If you do what many people do, you take a gulp of wine and bypass all of those important taste buds. When I taste wine I leave it in my mouth for three to five seconds before swallowing. The wine warms up, sending signals about the bouquet and aroma up through the nasal passage then on to the olfactory bulb, and then to the limbic system of the brain. Remember, 90 percent of taste is smell. Tasting wine is confirming what the color and smell are telling you. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
