Basic Set Modules III and IV pdf
This document outlines exercises to improve wine tasting abilities through developing strong olfactory memories. It consists of four modules: 1) associating words and images; 2) images alone; 3) recalling aromas from words; and 4) contrastive analysis by attempting to transform one aroma memory into another. Module III instructs the reader to intensely recall aroma memories when presented with words. Module IV guides contrastive analysis through pairs of aromas, instructing the reader to try merging the memories and observe where they differ. The goal is to precisely memorize individual aromas and distinguish them from one another.
