Learn with me - I'll help you become a proficient wine taster wherever you are on that journey.
Struggling to write your first tasting notes is normal.
Nobody ever taught you to describe your food or beverages that way.
However, it becomes essential to sharpen your wine-tasting skills to expand and deepen your knowledge about wine and its multiple facets.
Where are you on the wine taster journey?
- NOVICE:As a novice taster, you feel intimidated during wine events and are trying to figure out what to do, so you go with the flow and enjoy the conviviality.
- CURIOUS: As you become more curious about wine, you learn a few tips and practices after taking wine appreciation classes, but finding the right words is still a challenge.
- ENTHUSIAST: Your enthusiasm for wine grew so much that you signed up for a certification program through the WSET or the Sommelier guild. But blind tastings make you doubt your ability to be a good taster.
- CONFIDENT: As you develop confidence with practice, you learn about your strengths and limitations. You have created your system to identify aromas and tastes but sometimes struggle to share with others.
- PROFICIENT: As a proficient taster, you’re confident in discerning sensory characteristics and finding specific words to describe them. You practice blind tasting to keep your skills sharp.
Find the program to improve your skills a step further.
I designed these online courses so you can build your tasting skills and maintain your sensory acuity as you progress.
