Oenomusiphilia: Movie Soundtracks
Would you like to be able to confidently taste wine anywhere in the world and feel knowledgeable enough to vocalize what you do and do not like about wine? We will be exploring sensory development of wine and cheese flavor profiles showcased by songs and musical artists paired with cheese and wine.

Oenomusiphilia will use a person’s sense of smell, sight, taste, touch and hearing to accurately personify their palates. A wine might inspire someone to characterize it as “vanilla and caramel” while pairing the same wine with a cheese might inspire that same person to add to the description of the wine “citrus and green grass”. Using a song to showcase the wine and cheese’s personality helps further clarify a wine as “mellow and relaxed” or even “aggressive and demanding” or “light-hearted and memorable”.

Students are encouraged to bring their favorite wine glass to class.
