Coincidentally, I went to the Napa Valley Tweetup at Mondavi and they claim to be the originators of the sensory experience. That evening, they had over 45 different glasses with fruits, herbs, and various other aromatic substances all lined up. Albeit, they weren't in black glasses, but it was interesting to note how vastly different a few things actually smelled versus my own particular aroma memory for that substance. For instance, butter just didn't smell that much at all. I think that I remember smelling it more from cooking with it rather than in solid form. It was an interesting display and I was disappointed to hear that they may stop doing it since it's rather costly to put fresh ingredients in those glasses.

I took Sensory Evaulation at NW Wine Academy, but could do it over and over and keep learning. Have you heard of any wineries doing this in Washington state? I love those kinds of experiences!

I really enjoyed the two day Sensory analysis class at UC Davis. Have to see if we can do one of these locally in Healdsburg. Sounds fun.
