Calling all wine geeks! If all you know about Austria is that it produces a little-known white called Grüner that makes sommeliers swoon, you’re in for a treat. With invaluable input from Local Kitchen & Wine Merchant’s Mark Bright, we’ll get to know this mysterious region, including all of its idiosyncrasies. CLASS 411 Join a small group of Hip Tasters in the sleek new wine room at Local as we walk you through the varietal characteristics, regions of origin, food pairings and flavor and aroma profiles of the wines of Austria. With guidance from star sommelier Mark, we’ll get to know this mysterious region, idiosyncrasies and geek-worthy wines included. And you know the routine: Friendly competition! Free gift! Sommelier-caliber instruction! (What are you still waiting for?!) Led by certified sommelier, award-winning wine author and HIP TASTES Maven Courtney Cochran, this class promises to be both fun AND informed. Cheers to that. ABOUT Hip Tastes wine tastings are stylish events for adventurous enthusiasts looking to broaden their knowledge of the good stuff. Join other hipsters in the search for the real meaning of terroir and other vinous curiosities. We promise: No paisley tie-wearing wine auction-attending dilettantes here. Just real people getting to know real wine, one great party at a time.
