Day
1 (Wednesday): Individual & Group Tasting
Our
first day focuses on Blind Tasting in an individual & group
settings format. Individual tasting will begin with a 30 minute
(6) wine flight in which students work through the wines individually.
This is followed by small group settings, giving both the instructors
and students the opportunity to evaluate each others' tasting
skills. The students will then be called upon to comment upon
the wines and their conclusions. Secondly, students will participate
in at least 2 comparative wine flights, looking at similarities
and differences of a given group of wines. For the group exercises,
you will be put in the hot seat with an individual, instructor
supervised, videotaped blind tasting. Instructors will then speak
to each student’s strength and weaknesses, as well as evaluate
results and tasting method.
Day
2 (Thursday):
