Eddie's executive programs allow participants to explore, in more depth, the factors that create wines of distinction. These programs are designed to deeply develop the wine tasting confidence of the participants for entertaining at home or on the road.
Appellations, microclimates, classified growths and grand crus...the details are endless! While these may seem complicated, they will be explained in an easy-to-understand manner. Recognize the influence the winemaker has on designing flavors to fit the market demand. Comparisons will be made between the different styles of Cabernets, Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs from France, California, Germany, Spain, Italy, Australia and New Zealand.
This series is designed to quickly bring someone up to speed with techniques for using restaurant wine lists and an overall knowledge of the major wines of the world today.
The experienced wine taster has the ability to analyze wine by separating it into its constituent parts. They understand their own personal strengths and weaknesses, and have the ability to discern flaws amongst wine qualities.
This is a component tasting session, derived from the Université de Bordeaux School of Enology. It is the only way to truly understand the world of subtlety in fine wines. Participants will taste flights of over 40 wines that have been adjusted to help demonstrate how to thoroughly evaluate both qualities and flaws in wine. It will change the way you look at wine forever! Download the Sight/Smell/Taste Chart

This course is for regular beer fans as well as the discriminating host who wants to serve the right style or brand instead of wines. Like wines, beers have their own traditional styles. Eddie will identify the most important styles, ranging from hoppy British bitter ales to the dark lagers of South Germany, from the classic Pilsners of Bohemia to the arcane fruit beers of Flanders.
Often, beer is the more appropriate choice of beverage, especially when assertively flavored foods are involved. Come explore a wealth of new classics and learn what real beer aficionados keep in their refrigerators.

Most team-building exercises aren't this much fun! In this event, participants are divided into tasting teams. After being trained how to score wines like the Master Sommeliers, teams compete in a "blind-tasting challenge". Votes are tabulated, awards are presented, and everyone has a great time (win or lose)!
The ultimate in corporate entertainment, this venue is ideally suited to staff rewards & incentives, client entertainment, team building and other company social events.
