Discover Your Wine Style: The Wine Tasting Class
Your Palate. Your Rules.
Ever bought a wine everyone raved about, only to wonder what all the fuss was about?
There’s a fascinating reason why some wines thrill us while others leave us cold. Your palate is as individual as you are, shaped by subtle differences in how you experience flavor. In this engaging 90-minute tasting, you’ll discover your personal wine fingerprint: the patterns that explain what you love, what you don’t, and why. Forget memorizing hundreds of grapes or regions. The secret to enjoying wine isn’t knowing everything about wine. It’s knowing more about yourself.

Explore contrasting wine styles and discover the flavors and sensations that naturally appeal to you.
Decode Your Palate
Uncover four core factors that influence wine preferences and begin recognizing your personal wine fingerprint.
Choose with Confidence
Turn those discoveries into a practical guide for finding wines you’ll enjoy, wherever you shop or dine.
Discover Your Wine Fingerprint
Why does one person love a wine that another can’t stand? Differences in sensory perception play an important role. Through guided comparisons, we’ll explore four underlying factors that help explain individual wine preferences. You’ll begin to recognize the characteristics that consistently appeal to you, building a clearer picture of your own wine style.
The Science Behind Your Taste
This class draws on more than a decade of sensory research, including work conducted at Philadelphia’s Monell Chemical Senses Center. We’ve translated complex ideas about taste perception and individual preferences into an accessible, hands-on wine experience.
You won’t need a scientific background or a working knowledge of wine. Instead, you’ll learn to recognize patterns in your own tasting experiences and understand why your preferences can differ from those of friends, critics, or even professional sommeliers.
Imagine walking into a wine shop or opening a restaurant wine list with a clearer sense of exactly what you’re looking for. That’s the goal of this class: not to tell you which wines you should love, but to help you understand the wines you already do.
