Deductive Wine Tasting Experience

Wine Ambassadors, Kari and Ron, will take participants through the Court of Master Sommeliers-Americas' Deductive Tasting Method. This method analyzes wines using sight, smell and taste, and will help wine enthusiasts better understand how the “terroir” impacts the flavor. The class will conclude with an assessment of the wines to discover if the tasters indeed were able to distinguish the wines' flavors and origins.

Ron Anderson is a Wine Ambassador with Enoch's Stomp Winery and Vineyard, and is a Court of Master Sommeliers-Americas student. Kari Alexander is a Wine Ambassador for Enoch's Stomp Winery and Vineyard, and is studying to become an Introductory Sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers‑Americas.
