Two minutes of questions, no wine knowledge required. We'll build you a personalized tasting order through all seven pours, starting with your best matches, plus the why, the pairing, and what it says about your palate for each one.
Some, honestly stated. The questions aren't about wine directly because people rarely know their own wine preferences in the abstract, but food preference is a reliable, well-documented proxy for it: how much sweetness, bitterness, and richness someone enjoys in food correlates with the same preferences in wine. The matching itself runs on established wine-and-food pairing chemistry (tannin softens against fat and protein, acidity cuts richness, sweetness balances heat and spice) rather than a clinically validated psychometric test. Think of it as an informed, transparent heuristic, not a lab instrument, and accurate enough to point you toward wines you'll actually enjoy.
Today's NABU tasting has seven pours. Here's the order built for your palate, closest match first. NABU doesn't publish a set pour order, so this sequencing is generated for you, lightest and most aligned to your taste first, moving toward the boldest and sweetest pours last, the way a sommelier would actually structure a flight.
Tilt the glass against something white. Color hints at age, body, and grape, pale wines tend to be lighter and higher in acid, deep color usually means fuller body.
This isn't for show. Swirling coats the glass and pulls in air, which releases the wine's aromatic compounds faster than letting it sit still.
Most of what you perceive as "taste" is actually smell, sensed through the back of your throat as you swallow. Your nose is doing more work here than your tongue.
Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami are sensed across your whole tongue, not in separate zones, that old tongue map is a myth. Let the wine sit a moment before swallowing.
How long the flavor lingers after you swallow is a real, meaningful signal of a wine's quality and structure, not just a tasting-note cliché.
