Wine Tasting 101: Understanding Taste vs. Aroma at Bonde Fine Wine Shop

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:<ul><li>Learn the essential difference between aromas (olfaction) and taste (gustation), and how each contributes to wine perception.</li><li>Practical exercises to train your senses, develop aromatic memory, and identify key flavor components.</li><li>Guided tasting of selected wines to explore the roles of sweetness, acidity, bitterness, tannins, and aromatic complexity.</li></ul>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. <a href="https://bondewines.com/products/wine-tasting-101-understanding-taste-vs-aroma-thursday-april-16-at-6-30pm">Sign Up Here.</a> Who are we?
