I think I'll have to agree with the wine tastings at (all) acousmatic
concerts. I will vouch for the single malt tastings, but doubt that
they're something that should be done as often as the concerts. The
wine tastings on the other hand sound pretty safe, and there needs to
be more sensory experience practiced to channel through the ears.
