4 week wine appreciation course with Rob Geddes MW

SUMMARY

Our 4 Week Wine Appreciation Course runs over 4 consecutive Wednesdays and is the perfect option for anyone with an interest in wine and who wants to improve their knowledge and confidence.

The course is presented by Rob Geddes MW. Rob was the 3rd Australian to achieve the Master of Wine title and has been a leading educator, presenter and author for the past 30 years.

Level: Some prior knowledge is assumed, however this course is very comprehensive and will cover all aspects of tasting and wine. See below for more information.

nb. The One Day course and 4 week course cover broadly the same content - they are merely run as two separate formats in order to allow participants to attend whichever format is preferable. 40+ wines are tasted on the 4 week course, compared to 30+ wine on the One Day Course.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The theme of each week is as follows:

Week 1 - Introduction (8+ wines)

Week 2 - White Wines (10+ wines)

Week 3 - Red Wines (10+ wines)

Week 4 - Champagne/Sparkling and Fortified Wines (10+ wines)

Over 40 wines are tasted throughout the course with topics covered including

• How to taste wine
• Varietal and Regional Characteristics
• Food and Wine Matching
• Identifying aromas and flavours  
• How to buy and store or order and drink wine
• Effect of glassware

The aim of the course is to give participants the knowledge to confidently predict the taste of a bottle of wine whilst having the knowledge to know what they like and why they like it.

FOOD

Cheese boards and canapés will be provided. We do however recommend a light meal or snack before the tasting.

VENUE

This event will be held at 'The Vineyard' Tasting Room, Sydney Wine Centre, Level 1, 119 Harris Street, Pyrmont.
