Learn to taste like a sommelier. Four mystery wines, one pro method, and a room full of fellow wine lovers.

Ever wonder how sommeliers name a grape and vintage from a single sip? It's not magic, it's method. Wine Director Kevin Cluppert teaches the Systematic Approach to Tasting that professionals use to break down a wine's structure, then puts it to the test with four wines served blind.

Guessing is half the fun, especially when you're comparing notes with the people next to you. A social way to spend a Sunday, and no experience is needed. This is the first class in a monthly series.

What to expect:

  • Four wines tasted blind, then revealed
  • The professional Systematic Approach to Tasting
  • How to judge acidity, tannin, alcohol, body and finish
  • A bigger vocabulary for describing aromas and flavors
  • Complimentary cheeses, fresh baguette and accompaniments
