Denver Wine-Total Academy Wine Workshop: Passport to the Pacific NW!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOTAL ACADEMY WINE WORKSHOP:

~ Passport to the Pacific Northwest ~

...4 courses, 8 wines, one winemaker, one sommelier and lots of education and fun...

Sunday, October 19 from 6 to 8 PM

"PASSPORT TO THE

PACIFIC NORTHWEST"

Though Oregon and Washington are the new kids on the block in the American winemaking scene, some of the best Burgundy and Rhone grape wines are being produced from these two states. (And, if truth be told, I prefer to drink Pacific Northwest wines to California wines these days...on both quality and value points.) If you'd like to learn about the new Wild Wild West of Wine, then this workshop is for you!

At our SEVENTH TOTAL ACADEMY wine workshop, you will have an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the cuisine and wines from the Pacific Northwest...and to taste and buy some yummy juice for a fraction of the regular retail pricing.

In particular, you will ...

...MEET and learn from an Oregon winemaker who represents a rockstar, award-winning wine lineup;

...TASTE eight different rockstar wines from the best grape real estate in the region;

...ENJOY a four-course small-plates regional gourmet menu prepared by Chef Paolo Neville of the Legacy Ridge Golf Course Grill and paired by our own in-store sommelier;

...LEARN of some of the up-and-coming regional wine trends and grape geography from our certified sommelier, wine educator and cultural anthropologist; and

...PURCHASE these wines at special event (crazy-low below-retail) pricing....and get your holiday shopping done early this year!

And all this fun and learning

for only $25?!?!?

This is an amazing steal of a deal!
