Lately, I have been traveling a lot and have had the opportunity to speak with many different women of different ages and from different parts of the country. I am very pleased to say there are lots of women out there that love wine and are eager to learn more!
Most of the time, I find women pay a lot of attention to the level of fruit flavor in a wine, and I’m not surprised as most of us give a lot of importance to flavor of something in our daily lives.
Experts agree the center of our tongue captures the flavor of a wine. You feel it immediately after your first sip, and it lasts in your mouth long after the wine is swallowed. We all know wines are made from grapes, but the fruit flavor is also determined in large part by the fermentation and cellaring process.

Most wine makers enjoy making their wines in oak barrels, as the combination of oak, and the length of fermentation create specific, desired flavors. Wine makers are the real artists who create the magnificent taste of a wine, as they may intensify or smooth the level of flavor in order to come up with the right balance.
When we talk about white wines, we find some similar fruit flavors like apple, peach, melon, pear, lime, grapefruit, and lemon. Other whites might even develop flavors like grass, vanilla, butter, honey or even mineral.

Red wines are mostly based on red-berry or black fruits like cherries, plums, blackcurrants, and they might add more strong flavors like oak, pepper, tobacco, and cedar depending on the time of fermentation.
So pay attention after your first sip, and try to figure out which fruits are involved in a particular wine. You will learn soon that the higher the quality of a wine, the more intense flavors you will discover.
There’s always something new in a glass of wine.
