SanTasti testimonials, see what people have to say about our palate cleanser

“I faced the daunting task of scoring and writing tasting notes for nearly 2000 wines in the course of 65 flights. I simply could not have done this without SanTásti. In fact, SanTásti is the only product I know of that can facilitate such clarity on the palate, so necessary for the critical assessment of wine. Thank you for being the geniuses that you are by bringing such an essential element into the world of wine!”

David Boyer, Better Wine Guide Creator

“I think that you have an all around product for use professionally by winemaking staff and in wine judging as well as the marketing success for closing wine sales with both consumers and wine buyers.”

Shirley Molinari, Director of Product Sector Vinquiry, Inc. – California’s leading wine service laboratory

“This year’s festival featured more than 3,000 participants over two days, sampling more than 500 wines, beers, spirits and sakes, a smattering of designer soft drinks, and even one beverage that purported to remove from your palate any tannic evidence of any of the aforementioned beverages. It’s called SanTásti, a mildly sparkling palate cleanser, and it works scarily well.”

Patrick Comiskey, Senior Editor for Wine & Spirits Magazine LA Times

Ten Favorites from the Fancy Food Show "We ate cheese for 20 minutes straight with no liquids, and everything started to taste the same. Had we come across SanTásti earlier in the day, we would have been much better tasters!"

“This product works and is absolutely refreshing… Like a power-nap for your palate, SanTásti sweeps away those sandpaper dregs with one nifty little carbonated sip.”

Bottlenotes

“A swig of it eliminates lingering flavors from the mouth, making room for a fuller appreciation of what comes next. In one tough test, we cleansed the residue of our favorite pepper jelly from our palates to better appreciate the extra virgin olive oils we were sampling. SanTásti is good for more than wine tastings.”

Wine Country Minute

Drink of the Week “The ideal companion for a wine-tasting event. Though I was initially skeptical of the powers of SanTásti, the beverage definitely did its job between pours, while also being a refreshing drink on its own.”

"This was a god-send... when that blue cheese did not work with the old bdx, the SanTasti was a quick rinse and an easy reproof about getting the food straight with the wine."

"I was appalled in the best way possible. I’m a believer. Plus, the cucumber flavor is delicious. Before I left, I took a few sips of it on its own because it was that good."

"Quotes"

“Hello, my name is Barry C. Lawrence, I have been a professional wine judge for over 25 years and that includes such prestigious competitions as Orange county Fair, Calif. State Fair and the International Wine and Spirits competition in London, England.
I was a bit leery with yet another beverage that is "supposed to help my palate" judge wines better, but I must say I was totally amazed at the new Santasti Palate beverage!
Not only did it cleanse my tongue and mouth but it also increased the 'nose " value of each wine. I couldn't believe it! Not only could I tast those big red tannic wines, but each one smelled as an individual ,not just another wine.
In several flights of wine I actually used it between every different wine glass and I found each one stood out and better and allowed me to more fairly judge it.

I highly recommend using Santasti. ”

Barry C. Lawrence
Wine Judge

“Located in the center of west side Paso Robles wine country, our guests are typically out tasting numerous wines throughout the day. I provide them with two complementary bottles of Santasti so they can truly enjoy their entire day of tasting and have an overall better experience. This product is an essential “tool” in the serious wine taster “toolkit”.”

“The wine industries new friend! An amazing, yet simple way to keep your palate fresh. As industry professionals, we drink a lot of wine and SanTásti works to clean the palate in a refreshing way like nothing else does!”

“I was in Paso Robles a couple of weeks ago for the wine festival and that's where I came across the SanTasti. I tried it and I knew that this was the missing piece of the puzzle for when I had my wine tastings. This is a great product and I can't wait to use it at my next tasting!! Cheers”

Wendy Oldham
Wine Consultant

“I sampled the product with a Chard, then shifted to a very viscous syrah port, sampled Santasti and then went back to the Chard. It could turn my tongue purple poka dots for all I care, all I know is that it worked. My palate was cleansed and I could taste the nuances of the Chard without any after taste of the port.”

"You can feel it working... SanTásti definitely helps me transition from a red to a white. The carbonation and the balance of sweetness and acidity are just right. I can see SanTásti in every tasting room and that's why I chose to be an early adopter. It's in our best interest to have customers with fresh palates. It gives them confidence in their wine buying decisions, a real reason to trust their palate."

"Over the past few days, I have tested the three flavors under a variety of circumstances. I am quite impressed! The classic allowed me to switch between a very big Zinfandel and a very delicate Riesling, while enhancing the fine flavors of each. Typically in either direction that combo would be disasterous, but I was well able to enjoy both wines whilst repeatedly switching back and forth."

"I tried SanTásti during my last wine-tour in California and I am surprised by the original and effective idea that they had in creating something that has never been proposed to me before.

I always found it difficult to taste many different wines without the help of the food, which would distort the taste of wine.

During technical wine tasting I am often forced to pass trough many different wines, sometimes passing from a red to a white wine to come back to a bold red!

With its zesty but clean taste, its light acidic aroma and the refreshing mouthfeel, SanTásti helps to reestablish a nice balance and open the perception to a wider possibility of tasting many different wines, enjoing each of them like the first one.

Thank you Andrew and please ship me in Tuscany some cases of SanTásti."
