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’. \n  \n\nTO BOOK:\nBookings are essential for each session.  Bookings close at 4pm\, Friday 12 July\, unless booked out prior.\n  \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  \n  \nNot a member yet?Sommeliers Australia membership can be purchased throughout the year at a pro rata price and gain instant access to all the benefits of membership. With automated renewal options now in place\, it’s never been easier to keep your membership up to date. \nClick here to become a member.
