Ever wonder why one red wine feels silky and light while another leaves your mouth dry and your palate working overtime? It comes down to three things: tannin, body, and alcohol.

This guided tasting walks through a lineup of reds chosen to highlight each element, so you can start identifying them in the glass — and choosing wines that actually match what you like.

Guided tasting with John Tato

Light bites included.

Whether you’re new to wine or just want to understand what you’re tasting, you’ll leave knowing a little more about what makes a red wine your kind of red.
