Hands On Demonstrations
Join Dr. Robin Back from UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management for an exciting and interactive tasting experience as we explore the fascinating connection between our senses of smell and taste.
This hands-on session will reveal how small changes in what we eat can completely transform the wine in your glass… for better or worse. Using a unique pairing of wine and jellybeans, Dr. Back will demonstrate how aromas influence flavor perception and show how different foods can dramatically alter the taste of wine.
