Sommeliers are measured by their ability to “blind taste” or determine the grape variety, region, and vintage of a pre-poured glass of wine. In this class, you will learn the art of blind tasting by identifying key markers for common grape varieties and using logical deduction to make conclusions. You will also learn about various elements that differentiate wines to help you better assess quality and varietal typicity. Your tasting journey will be guided by James Beard Award-nominated sommelier and blind tasting coach, Cristie Norman. Must be 21.
