Description

Have you ever been curious to discover what it takes to become an MW, the famously difficult and exacting course of study that on completion means you would join a group currently numbering 512 people who have passed this exam since its inception in 1953?  

Join Mark Pygott MW for a masterclass of high-altitude wines where he will show you how to ‘taste like an MW’ and provide an overview of how you become an MW. 

This session will focus on High Altitude Wines: 

  • Our blind tasting will focus on wines that have originated from high altitude vineyards, and we will discuss how this reveals itself in the glass 
  • We will consider an MW style theory question that relates to this topic to strategize the ways in which it could best be answered.  

More About Mark:

“I became a Master of Wine in 2016. I was lucky enough to pass relatively quickly and I enjoyed the intellectual pursuit of this title more than any other course of study I have been a part of. The key reason for this is because it demands a high and consistent level of critical thinking. It also makes you a much better taster, as it forces you to engage with what is in the glass and not with what is in your head.”
