 Event Details
 
Wine should be fun and easy, but a lot of people are so overwhelmed and intimidated they'd almost rather order a beer. This course is designed to help the beginning wine lover get more comfortable and confident with wine in a low-pressure, snob-free environment.

We talk a lot about how to understand and remember what wines you like and how to communicate that to people in a wine shop or a restaurant. We always take a fun and light-hearted approach to how we taste wine so people don't feel like they have to be experts just to have a valid opinion.

In just four classes, you'll have a short list of favorite whites and favorite reds that you can rely on when you're shopping, ordering, and exploring new wines.

Here is a list of some of the delicious wines we've tasted in previous sessions of this class:
  • 2006 St. Supery Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley, California)
  • 2006 Sabeka Chardonnay (Western Cape, South Africa)
  • 2005 Domaine Montanet-Thoden Bourgogne (Burgundy, France)
  • 2002 Axel "Primero" (Chile)
  • 2003 Jaboulet Isnard Cotes du Ventoux (Rhone Valley, Southern France)
  • 2003 Ruffino Chianti (Tuscany, Italy)
