VATS+S™: A Guided Five-Point Review System for NA Beverages
VATS+S™: A Guided Five-Point Review System for NA Beverages
Monday, September 21, 2026 (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM) (PDT)
Description

You know when an NA beverage works. But can you explain why in a way that helps someone else decide whether it is right for them?
VATS+S™ is a live, 60-minute working session for anyone who reviews, recommends, serves, sells, writes about, teaches, or creates non-alcoholic beverages.
Bring one NA beverage and a glass. Together, we will use VATS+S™—Visual, Aromatic, Taste, Sensation, and Significance—to turn your tasting into a clear, useful evaluation.
You will leave with:
- A completed VATS+S™ evaluation of the beverage you bring
- A repeatable structure for future reviews, menu descriptions, product stories, recommendations, client conversations, and guest experiences
- Clearer language for explaining what a drink is like, who it may be for, and why it matters
- A practical way to separate observation from personal preference
This is not a passive lecture or a list of tasting notes.
It is a live working session built around a framework you can use every time you need to communicate about an NA beverage.
