The Nez du Vin (literally The Nose of Wine), helps to isolate 54 specific aromas that you will refind in wines during tastings. You can train your nose and your memory!
VARIETAL SPECIFIC TASTING SET
The set includes different shaped Riedel glasses made specifically for varying grape varieties. You will experiment with the glasses and determine for yourselves if the glass has an impact on your tasting session.
