Oak, Malolactic, & Lees

Oak, malolacticโ€ฆ or lees? Can you taste whatโ€™s shaping your wineโ€™s texture and flavor? In this one-hour workshop, youโ€™ll taste three wines side-by-side in a single blind comparison, each highlighting oak, malolactic conversion, or lees contact. Learn how to identify each influence, why winemakers use them, and how they impact aroma, flavor, body, balance, and classic styles. By the end, youโ€™ll confidently spot these cellar choices on the palate. This is an essential blind tasting skill and a deeper way to understand your wine beyond the grape.

Residual Sugar Identification

Sweet, off-dry, or dessert-level… can you taste the difference? In this one-hour workshop, youโ€™ll compare three wines at different sweetness levels (30 g/L, 100 g/L, 200 g/L). Learn to detect sugar on the palate, how it balances with acidity and body, and the key styles and classifications. By the end, youโ€™ll confidently identify sweetness in wine, an essential blind tasting skill and a deeper key to understanding balance.
