  Pairing Wine with Words: The Language of Wine and Tasting Notes

  
  

  Description:
  

  When it comes to tasting wine, your palate is like a fingerprint, and we're all sensitive to different flavors and aromas in the glass. How, then, do we effectively use language to describe something subjective, and how do we accurately translate such a description from one language to another? This session will give an overview of one of the more fascinating subcategories of culinary translation: wine. We will establish a baseline for employing standard terminology in wine translation, and then conclude with a deductive tasting of four different wines and hors d'oeuvres.

  Join Us for OUR Fall Coworking Online

  Got a task you’ve been putting off for days… or months? Need that extra push to tackle the most boring project in the history of project-kind? Feeling a little isolated in your home office? Join us in November for an online coworking session.

  This free meeting will be hosted by the NYCT and ATA Business Practices Education Committee.

  Date and time

  Wednesday, November 19, from noon to 1:30 p.m. EST.

  How it works

  We start with a quick round of introductions, in which each attendee states what they plan to work on (optional, no obligation to share). Then we spend about 70 minutes on focused, independent work, with a short stretch break in the middle. At the end, we all give the group a progress update and have a brief chat.

  Why should you join?

  You get to know new people and expand your network while also getting work done! Plus, the accountability and body-doubling helps many people stay focused on difficult or boring tasks. Of course, the event is free, too!

  Note: Attendance is limited. Sign up now to reserve your spot!

  Hosts

  The event will be co-hosted by Laurie Bennett from the ATA Business Practices Committee and NYCT.

  Testimonials

  Not sure if this is for you? Here’s what a few past participants have shared:

  “The coworking sessions are an opportunity to force myself to complete tasks that I’ve been putting off. Being in an online meeting creates just enough peer pressure to keep me focused and prevents me from wandering off to procrastinate yet again.”

  “These sessions are great for boosting productivity, whether you’re tackling backburner tasks or working on a translation project. But what I love most about them is the chance to connect with colleagues.”
