Wines of this YWE session
For some reasons most wine enthusiasts seem to pay more attention to red wines. Although white wine consumption is not insignificant, it lags red wines in garnering serious attention from wine lovers in Manila. Interesting enough back in the old days when wine was not as much an intellectual pursuit as it is today to many, white wine was the more popular order. Names like Blue Nun and Chablis were the flavor of the month throughout the 60s and 70s.
Line up of white wines in Yats Wine Tasting
Wine lovers have matured a great deal in recent decades and palates have grown much more sophisticated and ever more demanding. At the same time, the number of choices has also increased tremendously. Wine drinkers who want to capitalize on such unprecedented shopping freedom would need to first equip themselves with basic knowledge of wine. One of the most efficient – not to mention enjoyable – way to accomplish that is to attend this kind of comparative wine tastings.
For this session, Yats Wine Cellars will be lining up five great kinds of white wines for a comparative tasting. These white wines are good renditions of a style, a region or a grape variety. More importantly, each wine delivers a distinctly different impression which is a combination of aromas, flavors and mouth-feel. The five styles of wines selected for this tasting are:
1. Chardonnay – versatile and easy to handle, responsible for some of the greatest white wines in the world
2. Sauvignon Blanc – the new darling among fans of white wine, aromatic, bright and invigorating
3. Pinot Grigio – low profile but probably the most frequently ordered white wine in bars and bistros all over the world; find out why yourself
4. Cortese – not the most famous but certainly much sought after by white wine aficionados who are disarmed by the elegance and understated charm of this attractive white wine from Gavi in Italy’s famous (red) wine region of Piedmonte
5. Chenin Blanc – a forgotten classic but fast regaining its rightful place in the ranks of the elite

Every event has a different theme designed to highlight a certain aspect in wine appreciation. Although the whole point about Yats Wine Experience is really to have a wonderful time with wine and congenial company, many participants leave the event knowing more about wine.
