For the Cork Dorks

Sunday Blind Tasting Group

An (almost) weekly blind tasting group covering both CMS & WSET systematic approach to tasting.

  • 6 wines will be proctored blind - 3 whites and 3 reds of classic & testable regions.

  • Done in a round robin style or solo takedowns depending on group size.

  • All are welcome to attend - no certification (or plans of) necessary. Also may attend without participating verbally.

Study Hall

The Institute will be open on select days for anyone to come who is looking for a quiet space to study or read.

  • Access to our library of resource and reference material, anecdotal wine books, flashcards, etc.

  • This will be a silent space - no music, podcasts, or webinars without headphones.

  • All phone calls need to be taken in the hallway.

  • 10 minutes of every hour will be used as a "brain break", to ask questions, or discuss. Bring head phones if this does not suit your learning style.
