Corkbuzz Online | Masterclass: Blind Tasting with Brian Cronin & Laura Fiorvanti, Master Sommeliers
April 15 2020 | 8:00 PM - 9:00 PMJoin Master Sommeliers Laura Fiorvanti & Brian Cronin for a fun, interactive blind tasting. Required: you and a bottle of wine from your cellar. How it works: this is a reverse blind tasting. Each guest will choose a bottle for the discussion (and to drink!), cover your bottle and don't let the class know what it is. Volunteer guest will go through the grid with their own wine, covering sight, nose, and palate, and Laura and other members of the class will "deduce" the conclusion from your description. The class will last approximately 1 hour with time for discussion.
Master Sommelier Brian Cronin began his wine career in Raleigh, North Carolina. After studying biology in college, Brian realized that he wanted to make wine. However, it was his exposure in restaurants to wines from all over the world, and his growing passion for wine that made him want to learn everything that he possibly could. Brian then went to work as sommelier in some of the top restaurants in the country. He has been the wine director for Charlie Trotter's, Gary Danko, and Aqua. Brian is a very active member of the Court of Master Sommeliers and has also been an elected member of their Board of Directors. Brian's diverse career in the wine industry has helped him build his philosophy of fresh, funny and informative education that he now uses as National Education Manager for Taub Family Selectionsl. Brian devotes much of his spare time to running marathons for charity with the American Cancer Society. In 2016 he ran all of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, which are Tokyo, London, Boston, Berlin, Chicago, and NYC marathons for charity - one of only a few people in the world to accomplish this feat. In February Brian completed the World Marathon Challenge, which is 7 marathons, on 7 continents, in 7 consecutive days, to raise 150,000 dollars for the American Cancer Society.
