Palate Training & Wine Faults Seminarfor the Wine Professional

About the SeminarThis one-day seminar will provide advanced professional palate training and identification of wine faults.

Palate Training − In the morning, we will taste a variety of wines and styles to objectively determine appearance, aroma, acidity, alcohol, body, tannins, oak, flavors, and finish. We will also concentrate on quality, balance, complexity, concentration, finish, and potential to age.

Faults − In the afternoon, we will discuss the chemical nature and origin of various faults from the vineyard and winery through shipping and storage. Faults will include oxidation, maderization, acidity and alcohol levels, off flavors, volatile acidity, ethyl acetate, cork taint, bacteria and yeasts, and more. The focus will be on identification, prevention, and correction of the faults.
