Join us this summer at the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Institute for the Summer Wine Series, 2019!
This year theme: Wine Country – A survey of classic wine producing countries, their regions, and styles of wine. These informative sessions include a selection of wines from regions that help demonstrate style and quality while we explore ‘how the wines got that way.’ Each session includes a tasting, course material gathered by instructor, Ken Lipsmeyer, and a selection of hors d’ oeuvres themed to pair with the evening’s topic.
This session: The Wines of France
When we consider classic wine of the world, no country is better represented than France. To many, wine regions of this country represent a standard of quality and style by which the noble grapes are defined. Wine producers around the world look here to understand potential wine styles and quality.
In this session, we will explore noble grapes and classic regions from which they come. Students will learn the factors that help to understand the apex of grape selection, site, and climate that come together in a concept known as Terroir. These factors will help students understand the connection between climate and site selection to wine style. This understanding will help promote confidence when choosing wine from a list or wine shop. Students will also learn strategies for selecting wines that will improve with age to build a personal wine collection.
This session will include a selection of hors d’oeuvres inspired by the cuisine of the South of France.
