A Guided Tasting

Are you one of those people that smells or tastes a wine and says, "Yup, that's a red or that's a white"? Then this is the class for you. We'll taste identical wine grapes, side by side, and discover how different the same varietal can taste depending on where it is grown - thus tasting terroir. In this class we'll help you understand why you like or dislike certain wines and help you get comfortable with terms like full-boidied, oaky, velvety, etc. Plus, we'll have you picking out flavors like apples, tropical fruit, raspberries, and currants. These terms will no longer seem arbitrary and they will help you pick out wines that you like and will help you navigate wine lists and liquor shelves with certainty. This class is geared for all levels of tasters, but is especially helpful for beginners. This fun and interactive format is a great way to spend an evening examining eight different wines in a way that guarantees you'll be shopping with an arsenal of new knowledge and understanding!
