Deductive Tasting Workshop

Deductive Tasting Method Workshop helps students hone their analytical blind tasting skills through a series of small group tastings and lectures. Learning to extract a logical conclusion from evidence in the glass is a key skill necessary for success at the Certified Sommelier Examination and beyond.

This intensive one-day workshop offers the opportunity to taste 24 examples of classic wines from around the world. The workshop will focus on the “cause and effect” analysis of each wine, which will help students understand why classic wines taste the way they do.

Themed flights of wine have been put together to help calibrate the student’s palate to varying levels of alcohol, acidity, oak, and tannin, as well as define regional and varietal markets.

The Deductive Tasting Workshop is open to individuals who have passed the Introductory Sommelier Course.
