This course is intended to give participants a thorough grounding in how
to assess and enjoy fine wine from around the world. All aspects
of fine wine will be covered: different wine styles, wine regions of the
world, production techniques, key grape varieties, wine-classification
systems, storing and serving wine, matching wine with food, and the
cultural importance of wine. In addition to the cognitive aspects
of this fascinating subject, a systematic wine-tasting technique will
also be developed over the duration of the course via the tasting and
assessment of 40 different fine wines from around the world. The
wines tasted and assessed will include the full gamut of styles: red,
white, rosế, sparkling and liqueur wines. Details of these wines
will be recorded on structured tasting notes. All necessary course
materials, such as wines, glasses, tasting notes, spittoons and detailed
handouts will be supplied. The enrolment is limited to 15
participants to engender a positive group dynamic that enhances the
Socratic and experiential learning techniques to be utilized. This
course is suitable for both the interested layperson and hospitality
professional alike and is intended to be relaxed, informal, and good
fun.
At the end of the course, participants will:
-
have developed a competent
wine-tasting technique
