I got a tip the other day that Williams-Sonoma was having a big sale on their La Nez Du Vin wine aroma kits, so I picked up the master kit of 54 aromas for a measly $99 yesterday. Measly because this sells for a regular price of $399. This is something I've always looked at and wanted, but there is no way I would ever shell out $400 for it ... $100 is much more doable.
I only had a few minutes last night to play around with some of the different aromas. Some of them were obvious (licorice, chocolate) and some were much more difficult. Interestingly, once you were aware of what the aroma was, it smelled much more like it. So I guess the idea is to train your sense of smell to identify the aromas and then you'll be able to pick them up in wine. Will definitely be fun to do some wine tasting with this at our disposal.
For what it's worth, the packaging/presentation of the kit is beautiful. Probably why it is supposed to cost $400.
