August 10, 2012 by JC Viens in Events

To meet an extremely enthusiastic response, I am running a 2nd "Sensory" workshop. Only a few spots left. Please book today!

Finally, a wine workshop for the serious wine geek...

The 1st things we are asked to do when served a wine in a restaurant is to decide if the wine is in good condition. However, do we actually know how a wine fault smells like?

In this tutored tasting, we will explore 10 of the most common wine aromas found in high quality as well as faulty wines.

My goal is to give participants the tools to confidently assess quality and get a clear sense of what make a wine worth HKD50 vs one worth HK$ 500.
