This 3-class course is designed for student who has experience blind tasting, knows the world of wine pretty well, and can write an accurate tasting note. This is the next phase to mastering blind tasting: knowing your regions and recognizing them in a blind. This can take years of effort to become good at and is a process, but I am offering tips and tools in this course to speed up your learning curve! Not only will we be blind tasting to ID wine regions, but wines will be presented with their laterals (meaning regions you often confuse other regions with) so you can really hone in on how to get to the right answer faster. Each class is 2 hours. 4 wines will be poured per class.
Class 1: Red Grape ID
- Class 1 of this course will focus on correctly identifying red grapes around the world. What are the textural and grape markers that can help you isolate the correct grapes to consider.
Class 2: Red Region ID
- This class will build on class 1 and help us learn skills to correctly link one grape to different regions. This is where your strong theory skills can really help your logic!
Class 3: Using Quality to ID
- Learning how to recognize and use quality cues to get to regions and grapes is very important. In this class we deepen this connection.
Each class is 2 hours. 4 wines will be poured per class.
