If you’re unhappy with the cards in your hand, you may discard all 7 cards and pick up a new hand only when you are the Wine Master.
Bring the game to a winery and have the Sommelier choose the closest correct description. This way, all players get to contribute a red tasting note card.
Choose a red tasting note card that you would like to explore. Hand it to the Sommelier at the winery and ask them to pour a tasting of a wine with that particular profile. This is a great way to understand wine descriptions faster.
Deal the whole deck of red cards to each player. This will give you more cards to choose from to give a more accurate tasting note.
