TONIGHT'S TOPIC:
"Become a Dessert Wine Professional"
Working with Flavor for Fabulous Finishes

Sherry, Port, Madeira, Sauternes, Muscat... they're all just sweet, so cut a slab of cake, crack a bottle, and be..........disappointed?
No longer!
Come explore the world of dessert wines with perfect food-pairings to understand both the world of wine and the opportunities for really exceptional endings to your meals. We'll be tasting through a whole series of after-dinner wines, as well as tasting sweets, cheeses, and other clever ways to put these wines to work as more than just "something to sip by the fireplace on the holidays."

*****

Wine and Spirits Professor Torrence O'Haire (C.S, C.S.W, C.S.S, C.S.P.) will be leading the class in lecture, tasting, and demonstration, focusing not just on "tasting notes", but on a real comprehension of the ins-and-outs of wine as a study.

Students do NOT need any prior knowledge of wine to attend, but the class will be taught with academic weight so that even seasoned wine professionals will surely learn something and enjoy a rigorous discussion!

Class size is limited to 16 students. Walk-ins are welcome if space permits, but ONLY a pre-paid reservation will guarantee your space. 
Call or email the shop to make sure you're enrolled!

$20 per student - ($15 for clubmembers)

Plus, a student-special: 10% off any wine purchased that night, 15% a case or more!
