This week's Photo Hunt theme is 'informative'. I had a ton of shots to select from but finally decided upon this one.
When I was in San Francisco for a conference in March the SFMoMA had an exhibit that seemed to be set up just for me: 'How Wine Became Modern;Design + Wine from 1976 - Now'. During a break in my sessions one day I headed off to the gallery. I used my reciprocal membership from the Art Gallery of Ontario to get in free and spent some time enjoying learning more about the wonderful world of wine.
One of the interesting things was a 'sniff wall'. People always describe wine as smelling of this or that but few of us ever know what the heck is going on - yes, it does smell of wine . . . The sniff wall featured wines that were especially selected to demonstrate particular scent, the sniffer device enhanced the scent, and there was a wonderfully informative information card about each.
The idea of a sniff wall is GREAT! Sounds like a wonderful exhibition. :)
