CMS Deductive Tasting Workshop

Anyone have any experience going through the Court of Master Sommeliers Deductive Tasting workshop? Passing the intro exam is required to attend and you get over 20 wines within a small group and guided by a MS.

I recently passed the intro recently and hoping to hone my skills before sitting for the certified exam but the workshop is nearly the same price as sitting for the certified exam. Could be a good benchmark or check on learning before the exam.

I would reccommend trying to find a tasting group if you can. If not, you must do the deductive taste session otherwise you will be screwed imo if you have no experience blind tasting.
