Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this intro wine class:

Students are taught how to gather sensory data using visual, aroma, and flavor cues to make supportable deductions about the contents of their glasses.

This 16-week course is a detailed analysis of wine using American Sommelier’s methodology of interpretation. Blind Tasting is the synthesis of empirical data gathering and the student’s theoretical knowledge. The course culminates in a final exam that requires students to profoundly describe, analyze, and name the contents of six glasses within 24 minutes.

This course is recommended for individuals who have the American Sommelier Viticulture & Vinification Certificate (or similar qualification). Students who have taken comparable classes elsewhere may gauge their own knowledge using our online questionnaire or contact the office to discuss. Upon successful completion of the Blind Tasting Course, students are awarded the Silver Pin.  Graduates of both Viti-Vini and Blind Tasting are awarded the Gold Pin.
