Go ahead, milk the moment. But let's back up for a second. Before you take that sip, take a few other steps. First , get a good look at the wine. Hold the glass against a white background usually the tablecloth or your napkin.
White wines vary from the palest of yellow to a mild green.
Next , swirl it around in your glass. This allows the wine to react quickly with oxygen, which brings out the aroma. Now , stick your nose in the glass and take a good, deep sniff. Don't worry about the adjectives just yet just enjoy the aroma. If the wine smells bad, ask the waiter to taste it.
