Intelligent Failure in Wine Making

  • 45 min
  • Includes Kit
  • V/GF/NF Options
  • Non Alcoholic options
  • Free 48hr Hold

Does your team need to practice “intelligent failure”?

Led by wine historian Sheri Bowen, this experience helps teams understand the concept of embedding prior knowledge. Winemaking is complex and has many variables; new winemaking techniques take years to prove out and are costly. During the experience, you will taste one of the world’s most famous wines while learning (and actively discussing) the story of Chateau Montelena and the 1976 Judgment of Paris. You will receive an elegant wine kit (shipped to your home or office) with a famous wine. You will learn the art of learning only what’s ‘new’.

Don’t miss this opportunity to practice “intelligent failure”, leaving you with new insights, a feeling of camaraderie, and a revitalized team spirit.
