National Tasting Project

The National Tasting Project helps AWS members from multiple chapters learn about and taste the same wines and compare their scores using the AWS Wine Evaluation format. 

The National Tasting Project (NTP) was started in 1990 by Pam Davey and friends. Its mission was to help calibrate member’s scores with the AWS Judges. The first wines tasted were California Merlots. The program changed over the years and recently included many diverse regions such as Paso Robles (Rhone Rangers), Illyria, Portugal, Sicily and now Southern Rhone.
