Discover how winemakers create distinctive wines, such as sherry, aged oak Chardonnay, or New Zealand-style Sauvignon Blanc. We will taste six wines and reveal the chemical compounds responsible for their distinctive flavors as well as the grape varieties or winemaking practices that produce those substances. In some cases, we will address some other impacts of those compounds.
