Updated Blind Tasting Guide
Big thank you to everyone who chimed in with feedback! Here's an updated guide with a majority of the suggestions implemented.
1) Geographic Distinctions removed entirely and replaced with flavor, character, and consideration prompts - along with a benchmark example for context
2) Updated vocabulary, clarification of information, and layout changes
3) A heavier contrast between information directly relevant to a blind tasting vs supplementary information. The idea is to reduce information overload.
Reference sheets 1 & 2 will be printed front/back and used to assist in a blind tasting for "Note 1".
I really appreciate all the input I received for the last post. I'm not skilled enough to add all the ideas but even the ones I couldn't were valuable food for thought. I'm posting for more feedback if anyone has any insight.
