Led by a Master Sommelier, this week-long hands-on Advanced Tasting Program is a series of half-day workshops designed to enhance blind wine analysis techniques, while challenging experienced enthusiasts and students preparing for upper level exams with any major wine credentialing body.   Taste over 30 manipulated samples to sharpen your ability to assess structure and identify fruit, spice, herb, oak and other aromas and isolate wine flaws. Learn deductive tasting methodologies for upper exams with Society of Wine Educators, Court of Master Sommeliers, Wine Spirit Education Trust, Institute of Masters of Wine and others. Taste over 20 unaltered wines from around the world to hone your varietal and regional identification skills. Drills will include an emphasis on focus, timing, descriptions and conclusions. Strong wine theory and blind tasting experience is recommended for this program.
