<pre>Stan,
Tasting classes were held at UC Davis at intervals over the period of a
year. Interested parties that scored well on the tests then formed into
groups and a selection process weeded out good tasters from not so good
tasters. I believe a Professor from Italy was involved in this process as
was Paul Vossen, UCD and Roberto Zecco (now the President of the COOC).
They mirrored the environment that exists for the IOOC in Madrid, and I
think they were also in contact with that body too throughout the creation
of the tasting panel. The COOC website will probably have more details and
uvasteve@pacific.net (Steve Tylicki) one of the Masters Tasters could give
you a lot more insight into the process, since he was involved since the
very beginning.
cheers,
Sue Ellery
