ONLINE Wine Tasting Tune-Up -- Advanced
SESSION 3: Monday, November 2, 7pm to 8pm
SESSION 4: Monday, November 16, 7pm to 8pm
Tuition: $35 per tasting session (inclusive of 6 wine samples)
Does your tasting technique need a reset? Join a WSA instructor and other advanced students in the Online Classroom for an Advanced Wine Tasting Tune-Up. This course is open to any wine student at the Advanced level, but is ideal for:
— Current/recent WSET Level 3 students seeking to refine their tasting technique
— Former WSET Level 3 students seeking to tune up their palate (and possibly considering WSET Diploma)
— Current WSET Diploma students wanting to taste Diploma exam-similar wine styles in a formal setting (although please note this is not a Diploma prep class)
How does this work: Students will pick up mini-growlers of SIX wines between 5pm and 6pm the evening before class. Before meeting in the Online Classroom, students should write a full tasting note on each wine and answer guiding questions about the wines’ quality level, region of origin, grape variety and/or winemaking techniques (guiding questions will vary based on the tasting). We will use the WSET Level 3 Systematic Approach to Tasting (SAT) as our guide for these sessions.
What wines will we taste?: Each session students will taste six wines broken into two sets. Selected wines will be based on previous WSET Diploma Unit 3 exam wines and might include groupings that explore: a single variety across regions, quality level distinctions, winemaking variations or “mixed bag” identification. Wines samples each week will be approximately $150 in value.
