I have run Master of Wine Blind Tasting Seminars for nearly thirty years now. They take place over three days: Saturday, Sunday, Monday, the third or fourth weekend in May. They are practice for the MW examination, with MW style questions under exam conditions. In essence: a 2 ¼ hour exam paper in the morning, a half hour break for lunch, then as much time again going over candidates’ answers – critically, but kindly!
