Wine OR Wine & Food

We will taste wines from the world's 8 principal grape varieties: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah; and from the 8 major wine producing countries: France, Italy, Spain, Germany, United States, Australia, New Zealand and Chile. You will come away with a working knowledge of the major grape varieties and regional grape styles, and a better understanding of the concept of terroir and how different wines can be.

In an enjoyable, interactive, and educational atmosphere, class participants are encouraged to explore their own preferences and appreciation of wine. Open to anyone who wants to expand his or her frontiers in the world of wine in a supportive, informative environment. As one student wrote, "I very much enjoyed this course. It was relaxed yet full of information. Very professional, but not intimidating."
