We've all heard that a crucial component of the entire wine drinking experience is the smell of the wine.  That's why we stick our noses in the glasses and savor the aromas before we take our first drink.

What might you smell when you have your first, second, or third sniff?  With a good, complex red with a bit of age on them (think a Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir), clear your mind, close you eyes, take a sniff or two and sip, sip, sip!   Do you smell old leather? Cookies baking in the oven?  Furniture polish or even your childhood dog?  As strange as it may sound, these aromas do come up when you taste wine.  That is one of the most pleasurable parts of the experience. 

The more you taste, the more perceptions you'll come up with.  So sniff, sniff, sniff and enjoy!
