Sensory evaluation is a process used to measure, analyze, and interpret responses to products as perceived through the senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Sensory evaluation methods can provide many benefits to the wine and brewing industries. With proper implementation of test controls, careful selection of panelists, effective training (when necessary), utilization of appropriate methods, and statistical interpretation, sensory evaluation provides a basis from which production and certain marketing decisions can be made. The outcome of sensory testing can be used to reduce risks and to assess various methods of enhancing product composition, quality, and appeal.

"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for the introductory sensory evaluation seminar that you gave the other day. I really enjoyed the course and am looking forward to the flaws and faults course next month. I would love to share some of what you went through in a much smaller and less detailed fashion with some friends as you suggested at a dinner party or some other casual setting.
Thanks very much.

"I wanted to thank you for the excellent presentations on Wine Sensory Defects that Sue made in May to my cellar, lab, and barrel employees. The level of professionalism balanced by understandable terminology was very much appreciated by such a diversely educated and experienced audience. Sue did a great job.
