SUMMARY:[VIC] Between You and The Glass: Blind Tasting Practice #5
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fifth session of our blind tasting practice! Now scheduled monthly\, simply turn up\, taste\, test yourself and expand your tasting ability. \nWe all know blind tasting is the best way to improve your palate but three things stand in the way – it can be costly\, it takes up time\, and it can be intimidating. \nThis blind tasting exercise removes all of these obstacles! \nCome and train your palate with the guidance of your host Sommeliers Australia’s Noah Rozenfeld (CMS Certified\, Amaru). \nAt the conclusion of each bracket\, your host will give a short summary on the key pointers for the tasting of the wine\, and how to get to the correct conclusions. \nFour wines – two whites and two reds – will be tasted. Wines are chosen primarily for their typicity and are a mixed bag of varieties\, origins\, quality and price points. This is suitable for anyone in the industry wanting to practice blind tasting in a structured way\, and would also benefit those studying all levels of WSET and CMS. \nAs a personal palate training exercise\, you can keep your notes private or share them with your peers if you wish to. \n  \n\nTO BOOK:\n  ⇒ Sommeliers Australia Members – $20\n      To access Members priced ticket please login to your Membership Account before selecting tickets. \n  ⇒ Non-Members – $45 \n\n  \nBookings are essential for each session.  Bookings close 4pm\, Friday 14 June\, unless booked out prior. \n  \nNot a member yet?Sommeliers Australia membership can be purchased throughout the year at a pro rata price and you can gain instant access to all the benefits of membership. \nWith automated renewal options now in place\, it’s never been easier to keep your membership up to date.
