Ever peruse the aisles of the SAQ looking to try something new but end up buying the same wine you always buy? Have you ever wished you could express your wine tastes better to help you choose? At this activity, we will watch a series of video lectures to learn how to trust and communicate our own taste and aroma preferences. Our professor will guide us through the technical jargon of wineselection to get us on the path to sounding like expert sommeliers.
We can’t venture out to the Ile d’Orleans this year for a proper wine tasting but perhaps a virtual course will help us prep for future excursions.
