SUMMARY:[WA] Blind Tasting Group #1
DESCRIPTION:Due to the success of our blind tasting groups operating interstate\, WA is now launching a blind tasting group series\, beginning February 2025. \nTasting 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. Our 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 hosts. At 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 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’. \n  \n\nTO BOOK:\nBookings are essential for each session.\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. \nWith automated renewal options now in place\, it’s never been easier to keep your membership up to date. Click here to become a member.

SUMMARY:[VIC] Aligoté Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:Imagine having a sibling rivalry with an omnipresent heavy-hitter? Well\, Aligoté\, the oft-overlooked little sibling to Chardonnay\, takes that mantle. \nBut\, the landscape is changing in both Burgundy\, and more recently in Australia. Aligoté\, the ‘other white grape’ of Burgundy\, is steadily emerging from the shadow of its sibling. \nIn this masterclass\, hosted by Wiremu Andrews (Dearth of a Salesman) and Greg Lightfoot (Santé Wines)\, Sommeliers Australia will attempt to assemble every commercially available Australian Aligoté and taste them alongside a selection of Bourgogne Aligoté\, Bouzeron\, and more. \nSophie Darling\, winemaker at King Valley’s Darling Estate\, will join us to share her family’s story of how they propagated the largest vineyard holdings of Aligoté in Australia. \n\n\nNot to be missed – this is a rare masterclass\, and seats are limited.
