A new wine tasting class
Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2012 3:04 pm
I thank all of you in advance for your answers.
I have been conducting a blind tasting with a light dinner after the tasting for about 7 years. I have been using the CMS blind tasting grid. I want to change the format.
My idea is to work more closely with the basic componets of all wine starting with the tactile part. Starting with sugar, we will work with recognition threshold and perception threshold to start so each taster knows their genitic abilities to taste. I will follow some of the tutorials in The University Wine Course by Marian Baldy as a guide and keep the testing wines on the table so that the group can refer back to them during the comparison portion of the taste.
We will do the testing part and then enjoy tasting. There will be 2-3 wines and the group will use a compairison grid that I have made.
I will have other tastings with focus on Bitter, Tannin, Acid and then work on the olfactory and serving temperature componets.
I welcome any all all ideas. I have no professionals in the group. Just folks that enjoy wine and want to learn a bit more about it.
