I am seeking to put together a wine tasting panel to evaluate wines for import and distribution. We will be looking for a panel of about 20 tasters, with some knowledge and experience with both Old World and New World wine styles and the ability to evaluate wines based on merit rather than personal taste. Some experience and appreciation for the process of evaluating wines is necessary. Each tasting will consist of 6-8 tasters and will be held on Wednesdays from 7pm to 9pm.
