SUMMARY:[WA] Blind Tasting Group #6
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. 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’.

SUMMARY:[VIC] Blind Tasting Group #16
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! \nSimply book in\, turn up\, taste and expand your tasting ability\, with guidance from Sommeliers Australia’s host Noah Rozenfeld (CMS Advanced\, Circl Wine House). \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 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:[QLD] Blind Tasting Group #4
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. 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
