SanTasti, The Palate Cleansing Beverage
When you are tasting wines most often water is the preferred palate cleanser. Now there is a new beverage called SanTasti which was created by a pair of college students while they were working toward their degrees in enology and viticulture at Cal Ply San Luis Obsispo's wine and viticulture program. SanTasti is meant to be a palate cleanser designed to help winemakers evaluate their wines more accurately and prevent "palate fatigue" in tasting rooms. Andrew Macaluso and Nicole Chamberlain have filed a patent for their beverage which sells for $3 a bottle. It is lightly effervescent and designed to be almost tasteless. They say it restore balance by moderating acidity, sweetness and astringency so you can experience more flavors from more foods. It also comes in peppermint and cinnamint flavors.[via San Luis Obispo Tribune]
