National Tasting Project

Learn more and compare your scores with hundreds of American Wine Society wine friends

The annual American Wine Society National Tasting Project unites American Wine Society members across the country for a themed educational wine tasting. The NTP committee chooses a different theme each year and selects several wines that exemplify different styles within that theme. The committee provides educational materials via an in-depth PowerPoint presentation. It’s a ready-made tasting event!

Members, through a chapter or on their own, hold a blind tasting between January and October to sample and score the wines. They submit their results and then see how their scores compare to other American Wine Society chapters/members.

All chapters and members are encouraged to participate.
