Videos
Here are the links to some of the videos we have been unable to watch - due to "technical malfunctions". Since I am unsure whether we will get the opportunity to attempt to watch them again I will post so you can review during your "independent study time". I hope this helps to clarify some of the information.

Posting your beverage diary - READ CAREFULLY
Once per week starting 09/16/10 thru 11/18/10 each student must post at least once per week, a beverage diary, for a total of 10 entries. Each entry must include three new beverages (all in one posting) you have tasted that week, alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
1. Three new beverages sampled that week.
2. The complete name of beverages. If a mixed drink include all the ingredients or recipe for the beverage, so that we know what you were tasting.

4. The beverage flavors.
5. What food you would pair beverages with.
6. Over all impressions of each beverage and whether you buy/drink again.

There is no right or wrong posting, if you do all of the above requirements you will receive all of the points. However if you do not meet all of the requirements in your posts you will receive no points for that posting, so be sure you read carefully what is required. If you have questions let me know!
