What You Absolutely Need to Know About Wine
Monday, July 23
$52.00
BUY NOW

This class was previously named Absolute Beginning Wine Appreciation, but that title limited the participants to people who knew that they didn’t know the basics of wine. Truth be told, there is a lot of fundamental information about wine that most people have just skipped over in order to get to the drinking part! So whether an absolute beginner or hardened vet, this class will teach you something you didn’t know or at least were not sure of in the complex, wonderful world of wine.

While based on the information offered in Absolute Beginners, this is a newly structured Power Point type of class presented along with nine great wines to illustrate the information. The most heard comments after this class are usually along the lines of “I been drinking wine for 15 years, going tasting in Santa Barbara and Napa, etc, and I learned more about wine in the first 20 minutes of this class than I did in all that time!”

Join Tasting & Seminars Director JB Severin for an entertaining revelation.

Killer Riesling
Monday, July 30
$52.00
BUY NOW

Tonight’s class is all-fierce, all killer, all Riesling, all the time baby!  No other grape, well maybe Pinot Noir, makes such terroir driven and characterful wines.  Since Riesling makes quite possibly the world’s greatest white wine, tonight we’ll focus on the three countries that produce the best: Germany, France, and Austria.  None of tonight’s wines will be dessert wines, though not all will be dry either.  Just what on earth does that mean?  Come find out. Be fierce, be independent, and (dare I say it) be mondo hip and join us tonight for what will be one heck of a tasting.  Your instructor will be Jamie “the Chardslayer” Koren
