I first met Dr Hoby Wedler when he led my wine education team and I through his signature “Tasting in the Dark” experience. We were blindfolded and tasting the wines  (thought) we knew very well, in a whole new light (or lack thereof). Dr. Hoby Wedler is a Chemist, Sensory Expert, Motivational Speaker and Entrepreneur who happens to be blind since birth.After your virtual time with Hoby, you’ll have a new perspective on how to take in the world around you, especially when it comes to things like Seeing Flavor and Tasting Color!You’ll hear about: 10:58- The call from Francis Ford Coppola that inspired him to create Tasting in the Dark13:57- His first chemistry teacher who questioned how chemistry would “work for him”, until he told her “No one can see atoms”….
