Tasting Wine the Master’s Way
Frederick L. Dame, Master Sommelier
Paterno Wines International

You will be introduced to the methodology used for training Master Sommelier candidates in the art of blind tasting. The lecture will address using the senses of sight, smell, and taste to determine vintage, origin, variety, and quality. The fine wines of Europe and the New World will be featured allowing you to practice these techniques. As the old saying goes, “Amaze your friends!”.

Frederick Dame is the first American to serve as president of the Court of Master Sommeliers Worldwide, and is one of only 51 Americans to have passed the Master Sommelier examination. As Master Sommelier of Paterno Wines International, Dame assists restaurateurs and hoteliers in developing their wine programs.
