Yawn, My Palate's Fatigued


Is your palate is dirty? Kidding. In all seriousness, picture the scene. You and your sweetie decide it would be fun to attend a local wine tasting and try over 100 different wines in one evening. Aside from purple stained lips and a buzz, what do you remember tasting? Even the best palates in the world get something called palate fatigue, when your poor olfactory and gustatory nerves are shot. That's when you stop really tasting what's going down the hatch. We stumbled onto one company seeking a remedy that very problem. Over the course of an epic tasting, take a break, write some notes, and consider sipping some SanTásti. Try it out, and let us what you think. It's definitely an interesting concept. Started by Cal Poly Enology Program alums Andrew Macaluso and Nicole Chamberlain, SanTásti is specially designed to cleanse the palate and restore balance by moderating acidity, sweetness and astringency. We want to know how it works, but I guess that's a trade secret.
