Accessibility Consultants for the Wine and Hospitality Industries Uncorked Access believes in our two-pronged approach: advocating, educating, and holding accountable the established wine industry, as well as encouraging the Deaf community to engage, learn, and take advantage of employment and leadership opportunities. Home: Welcome NEWS Home: News WINE 101 WITH UNCORKED ACCESS | VIRTUAL MASTERCLASS TWO OPTIONS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY! Saturday, June 24, 2023 3:30 PM - 6:30 PM Full Access to ASL Users ! Sponsored by The Oenophile Institute Wine tastings are common practice for both industry professionals and enthusiasts alike, but what if you don't speak the lingo (literally)? Uncorked Access recognizes the significance of this procedure and for years, native ASL users have experienced barriers to engaging in tasting groups and events due to differences in language modality. Peter & Laura of Uncorked Access will guide a virtual Wine 101 tasting to learn the basics of wine, how to feel confident seeking wine out, and expanding on signs that conceptually match the specific jargon of wine for the Deaf and signing Community. This class is intended for fluent ASL users, and will be presented entirely in American Sign Language without interpreters. This Masterclass with Uncorked Access is NOW offered for 0.3 CEUS at the little/some context Knowledge level. The Continuing Education Action is approved by Interpretek, RID sponsor. There are TWO options for this masterclass ! VIRTUAL TICKET TO JOIN OVER ZOOM: $40 This will give you access to Uncorked Access’s Zoom Masterclass on Saturday June 24th.
