AWS National - Super Tasting Series Masterclass

We have added a new program to our ever-expanding wine education curriculum – the Super Tasting Series—Masterclass.

This is a 3-hour in-depth class on wine tasting. This sort of instruction normally comes as part of an intensive wine study effort such as the Wine Judge Certification Program or the WSET programs. Many of our members aren’t interested in that level of wine study, although they would like to expand their tasting knowledge and skills to more fully enjoy drinking wine. This is what the Super Tasting Series-Masterclass is for. The good news is that the AWS brings this class to you. We will provide the instructor and all materials. Your local chapters and/or RVP will just need to find a venue and handle logistics. The education part of the program is free – as a part of your membership in AWS – students only pay the cost of materials. This should range from $20-$30/person depending on number of students, location, cost of venue, etc. Quite the value, huh?

The class is very hands-on and will cover:
• How the brain interprets sensory information
• Sensory evaluation components – Visual, Taste, Smell, Touch, Flavor, Structure, Balance, Evolution
• Wine balance training – Sugar, Acid, Alcohol, Tannin, Oak
• Smell training – 20 common wine aromas
• Wine faults – Recognize the common faults in wine; TCA, VA, Oxidation, Sulfur, etc.
• Glassware
• Scoring wines

This is also a great event to invite guests and show them the educational value of an AWS membership.
If you are interested in conducting the Wine Tasting Masterclass in your area, contact your Chapter Chair or me.

Jay Bileti
Director of Membership, AWS
