Battle Of The Blinds (Deductive Wine Tasting Workshop For Everyone!)

Cost: $50

Palate tune-up! Blind tasting open to anyone and everyone under executive sommelier guidance! Join us!

Join Uncorked Vintage Academia at Somm Space for a session of Blind Wine Tasting of 8 world class benchmark wines.

*RSVP Closes 3 days prior to event date - book early and save your spot*

Whether you are preparing yourself for a Sommelier Examination, or you want to become a better taster, grow and fine tune your palate for personal enjoyment and fun - this workshop is open to ANYONE and EVERYONE [21+], even if you have little or no experience in blind tasting - as our Guild Certified Senior Wine Instructor will explain the process.

The objective for each tasting is to determine 5 components using technical, comparative and deductive evaluation.

This is a double-blind tasting to determine:

-Country

-Region

-Varietal

-Vintage [+/- 2yrs.]

-Production Technique

This will be a great opportunity to taste several wines from benchmark world class growing areas and styles, network with other wine enthusiasts and expand your palate by learning on this professionally guided workshop.

Wines will be decanted to conceal branding, markings, closures or bottle shapes and served at correct evaluation temperature in INAO International Standards Organization Tasting Glassware.

Feel free to bring your own deductive tasting rationale grids from CMS/WSET/SWE/ISG/NASA, etc.

If you don't have any or don't care to use these wine organizations' grids, we'll have a tasting journal provided to you.

Your ticket includes the minimum of 8 wines, a tasting journal, communal cheese plate, and a chance to win a prize!
