Many people approach blind tastings with trepidation and a fear of embarrassment. On the contrary, blind tastings of wines are very instructive, can be a lot of fun and may appeal to some people’s sense of competition!
Conducted by our chief instructor Mr Tan Ying Hsien, this course will teach you how to use the techniques of wine tasting, utilizing observations from sight, smell and taste, to make inferences about the grape varieties, origin, age and quality of a wine.
The course aims to help wine tasters make assessments of a wine’s qualities without any preconceptions that may be formed by knowing the label.
This tasting will be highly interactive, where participants will be asked to form their impressions and share them. There will be 8 wines served blind to the participants as well as the course instructor who will provide guidance and pointers on how to assess and identify the wines. Each tasting session will feature a different set of 8 wines.
Date: Tuesday, 2 September or 9 September 2014
Time: 6.45pm
Price: $100 nett per person (inclusive of light snacks after the tasting)
In addition, if you wish to explore more wines on the wine list beyond tasting, all participants are entitled to a 10% discount off all full bottles of wine purchased for the evening.
