Fundamentals of Wine Studies II: Sensory Evaluation of Wines and Their Components

There are currently no sections open for enrollment.

(1.5 ceu)

Extend your wine vocabulary, and discover how your individual sense of taste works. Through instructive tasting, you determine your threshold for certain tastes and learn how to identify various flavors in wine, how to find wine faults, how to differentiate between different wine-making methods and how origin can affect flavor. You also engage in blind tastings as you further expand your understanding of the palate. The course fee includes all wines to be tasted.

Note: Bring six wineglasses to each session. You must be at least 21 years old to enroll in this course.
