JancisRobinson.com faults tasting

Tuesday 13 November 2018

,

Tam met New Zealander Kirsten Creasy in the Languedoc in May and suggested that she would make an ideal guide to wine faults for us wine lovers. With combined roles of wine lecturer, consultant winemaker and wine analyst (Lincoln University, Hill Laboratories), Kirsten was well known throughout the New Zealand wine industry for her informative lectures bridging the worlds of practical winemaking and academic research and has conducted numerous sessions on wine faults.

She and her husband Glen (a contributor to the Oxford Companion to Wine) have recently moved to the Languedoc to make wine and she has offered to conduct one evening and one day-long workshop on the causes, identification and analysis of common wine faults at the Institute of Masters of Wine's London headquarters in mid November.

The evening session will be a tutored tasting designed to offer an introduction to the most common faults (VA, mousiness, brettanomyces and TCA), with tasting samples of each. We'll finish with a glass of something we actually want to drink.
