“I’m Tasting the Stars” – The Shape of Wine on Our Palate (Sunday, July 24, 2016) –  Legend says that Dom Perignon, the blind monk who made Champagne, exclaimed “I’m tasting the stars,” when the wine bubbles glided across his palate. So how does your palate feel when you are tasting different wines? Is the sensation smooth and seductive, or biting and bitter? Explore how the shape of wine is reflected in photographs of wine under the microscope, and learn how the patterns unveiled in this molecular world match how they feel in our mouths. Discover some roots for your inner experience and pleasure of wine. Facilitated by Dr. Sondra Barrett, biochemist and author of Wine's Hidden Beauty, your eyes will be just as delighted as your palate in this session.
