If you have an interest in it, start with Ann Noble's papers- she was the goddess of scientific sensory evaluation and its relationship with commerce. Likewise, staying on the UC Davis track, Amerine's "Wines: Their Sensory Evaluation," while rather old, is a great introduction to how this is done professionally.
