The key is to choose a palate cleanser that is mild and neutral in flavor, so they don’t overpower the wine you’re tasting. We would recommend…
1. Water: Drinking water between sips of wine can help cleanse your palate and prepare it for the next wine.
2. Bread: Plain bread or unsalted crackers can help absorb any lingering flavors in your mouth and prepare you for the next wine.
3. Cheese: Mild, neutral-flavored cheese, such as plain mozzarella or Monterey Jack, can help clear your palate between wines.
4. Apples: Eating a slice of apple can help cleanse your palate and neutralize any lingering flavors.
5. Lemon: Sipping on a small amount of lemon juice or sucking on a lemon wedge can help cleanse your palate and prepare you for the next wine.
6. Sparkling water: The bubbles in sparkling water can help scrub your palate and prepare it for the next wine.
7. Sorbet: A small serving of sorbet, particularly lemon or raspberry, can help refresh your palate and neutralize any lingering flavors.
