January 16, 2014 - Wines of the World with Tom Bender - Sensory and Aroma Impact! There are benefits to describing wines using recognizable aromas. While we all might smell wine components differently, they definitely add another aspect of enjoyment and help with identification of specific wine types. Smell memories help us remember individual wines and experiences. They occur differently in each grape type and as a result of winemaker enhancement through viticulture practices, harvest timing, fermentation, aging process, and blending. Wines of the World is an integral part of the wine associations educational program. Cost for CWA members is $15 and $25 for non members. The Historic Murphys Hotel hosts us in the Mark Twain Ballroom from 5:30 to 7pm.
