The 5 S’s

See, Swirl, Sniff, Sip, & Savor

There are five basic steps in tasting wine: distinguish the color, swirl, smell, taste, and savor. These are also known as “The 5 S’s” see, swirl, sniff, sip, savor. During this process, a taster must look for clarity, varietal character, integration, expressiveness, complexity, and connectedness. Mindfulness is an activity that can be practiced anywhere, it is cost efficient and translates into happier, focused, and more balanced productive individuals. This program is designed to help release the day to day stress that can inhibit a team from being productive, and perform at higher levels.
