Neuroscience of Wine Tasting

August 22, 2012 – 1:56 pm

I attended Tim Gaiser’s presentation on the Neuroscience of Wine Tasting. It was certainly interesting and an area that begs for further research. As an MS, Tim has helped students pass their MS test. He noticed that teaching people how to taste has its challenges often related to their own neurologies, memories and life experiences. […]

Wine Bloggers Conference Off to a Fast Start

August 17, 2012 – 1:51 pm

This year’s Wine Bloggers Conference in Portland, Oregon will showcase oregon wines. However, the hit of the morning session was the Argentine Food and Wine Paring. Tasty wines were matched with equally tasty foods. There was enough wine and food to satisfy one’s brunch appetite. My first pairing was a red blend matched with a […]
