When I am asked by the wine steward to taste a wine I ve chosen at a restaurant, what am I supposed to look for?
After the wine steward or server pours you a taste of wine, it is your chance to determine if the wine is bad or not. It rarely will be bad. You can swirl the wine to release the aroma, smell it and taste it to make this determination. Or, you can simply taste it without any fanfare. If it would make you feel more comfortable and you are confident the wine is fine, you can pass on tasting the wine and prompt the server to serve it.
