Is This Good Wine? 

Assessing Quality with Confidence
with Master Sommelier Madeline Triffon

KIT & RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE 

March 6, 2026, at 1 PM Pacific
In pursuing certifications, there’s a fierce focus on identifying wines when tasting blind. But – are we able to recognize superior juice if it’s not a classic expression? Can we make a quality call independent of product knowledge or price point? In tasting this line-up, we’ll assess the quality of fruit, balance, length, and all the elements that lead to the simple conclusion, “It’s quality in the glass.” Empower yourself to recognize quality in wine, no matter the circumstance.
