Training Methods
Le Nez Du Vin Aroma Kits (expensive)
Phillip Rich Wine Appreciation Kits (very reasonable but hard to
find)
Use evaluation sheets and descriptors and just train yourself (cheap)
You really can do this, just get your palette very well educated with
the foods and things that are descriptors and practice detecting them in
the wines you try.
