The ABC’S of Wine Tasting with A Certified Sommelier

Demonstration Class | Wine Tasting 
Thu 5/19/22    6:30-8:30 p.m.

Class Description: 

From grapes to glass, wine is one of life’s perks, an indulgence, a mood-lifter. From the outside, it looks a bit complicated but to appreciate wine all you really need is a sense of smell. 

Tonight’s experienced instructor, Brent Grider, is a certified sommelier, so he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to wines.  You'll cover the basics: how to taste, what goes into wine and how to get the most out of each sip, varieties and names of grapes, the mechanics of serving, storage, buying guidelines, and other fundamentals.

You’ll taste and evaluate a trio of white wines. Plus learn the differences between reds and whites as you evaluate three red wines, too. We will have some little nibbles for you to nosh on while you learn.  After this class, you'll no longer have to use the “close your eyes and point” approach to choosing a wine at your local purveyor or in a restaurant.
