SUMMARY:[WA] Blind Tasting Group 10
DESCRIPTION:Tasting wines blind is the best way to improve your palate. But three things often stand in the way – it can be costly\, it takes up time\, and it can be intimidating. \nOur monthly blind tasting sessions eliminate all of these obstacles\, because for 1 hour it’s just between you and what’s in the glass! Simply book in\, turn up\, taste and expand your tasting ability\, with guidance from Sommeliers Australia’s host Katia Taschetti (Threecoins & Sons\, Testun).  At the conclusion of each bracket\, Katia will give a short summary on the key pointers for the tasting of the wine\, and how to get to the correct conclusions. \nFour different wines – two whites and two reds – will be tasted each month. Wines are chosen primarily for their typicity and are a mixed bag of varieties\, origins\, quality and price points. \nSuitable for anyone in the industry wanting to practice blind tasting in a structured way\, those studying WSET and CMS\, or anyone looking to shake up their ‘cellar palate’.

SUMMARY:[TAS] Blind Tasting Group 5
DESCRIPTION:Blind tasting is one of the most effective ways to refine your palate\, but it often comes with challenges – it can be expensive\, time-consuming\, and intimidating. \nTo make blind tasting more accessible\, Sommeliers Australia has recently introduced a dedicated tasting group in Tasmania. These sessions have already proven to be highly successful\, providing a structured and supportive environment for wine professionals\, students\, and enthusiasts. \nEach session runs for one hour\, allowing you to focus purely on what’s in the glass. Simply book\, turn up\, taste\, and develop your skills with expert guidance from host Ethan Han (head sommelier Black Cow Bistro). \nThroughout the session\, you’ll taste four wines – two whites and two reds – carefully selected for their typicity\, representing a diverse mix of varieties\, origins\, quality levels\, and price points. At the conclusion of each bracket\, your host will provide key insights and practical techniques to help refine your tasting approach. \nThis tasting group is ideal for industry professionals looking for structured blind tasting practice\, WSET and CMS students preparing for exams\, or anyone wanting to challenge and expand their palate.
