The Basics of Wine Tasting Tours
Wine is one of the oldest drinks associated traditionally with many festivals and celebrations. Today, it has become a common household item and is found everywhere from bars to kitchens. Many people have gone on wine tasting tours not out of any professional obligations but out of sheer love for this particular drink. Wine tasting tours are organized so that wine tasters may have the chance to evaluate the quality of different wines based on criteria like feeling, aroma, and color. People who go on wine tasting tours have a well-developed sense of smell and taste and they can tell even minor details about a wine through simple smelling and tasting.
Besides determining the taste of the wine, wine tasting tours also offer the opportunity for determining the proper placement of the wine based on other ingredients like alcohol content, tannin, acidity, and the collective balance between such elements. Wine tasting involves the use of equipment like aroma bottles and blotting strips that are the stock in trade of everyone who goes on wine tasting tours.
Wine tasting tours are a kind of minor festival unto themselves among wine lovers. While there are many wine tasting events that are taking place all over the world, the best thing for wine tasters are the events combined with their vacations. Wine tasting tours are conducted for people who wish to vacation in spots close to wineries and enjoy a vacation while indulging in their favorite form of recreation and relaxation. These tours have become well established and include some of the most famous wineries and vineyards. Some wine tasting tours are organized around specific wine tasting festivals that take place in specific parts of the world and within certain hotels and restaurants.
The good news is that many of the leading wineries in the world have tied up with tour organizers to offer wine tasting tours for wine lovers. The best way to find out about wine tasting tours is to search on the Internet or to ask your own travel agent for information about these tours. Remember that wine tasting tours are not like regular tours and the packages, transportation, accommodation, duration, and destinations are all a little removed from regular tourist destinations. There are several travel agents that offer many exciting wine tasting tours that cover wineries in places like Mexico, Italy, Spain, France, and even California. There are so many wineries in the world that your choice is practically as unlimited as regular tourist destinations. In some cases it is even possible to customize your own wine tasting tours by selecting wineries, accommodation, and tour duration. In case you are visiting wine festivals then you could choose which events you would like to attend.
Like most everything else, the Internet has made the location and booking of wine tasting tours easier than it ever was. Not only can you find the tours that suit you best but through online communities you can even exchange comments with people who have been on those tours before and pick up tips that could save you time and money and also prevent you from committing some common mistakes.

Another Kind of Lovefest

On Saturday, I hopped on the N-Judah to head downtown to go to a friend's anniversary and housewarming party. Halfway to my destination, a gaggle of loud, crazy young people (I know I sound like I haven't put my dentures in yet, but that's what they were), dressed in what can only be described as an updated version of Summer of Love attire, crammed themselves onto the once quiet train. The girls had the headscarves, flower face paints, long hair and halter tops, but one boy was wearing SquareBob
