Tasting events

Whisky tasting is done. Now time for more healthy choices. I found that one needs to try "olive tastings" and see the difference between the oils. Check this article

by Harold McGee -  the author of "On Food and Cooking - the Science and Lore of the Kitchen".
So, now I need to find the tasting event to go to or suggest to the Harvard Stats. Dept. for the next semester. Not sure whether this California group did any statistical correlation analysis of the oils...
It would be interesting to see some clustering and grouping of different cooking oils.
