Listening to Wine

  • Newport Wine Cellar & Gourmet 5 Merton Road Newport, RI 02840 United States (map)

This is an opportunity to really develop your tasting skills and identify what you like in a glass of wine. Have you ever said that you could never taste blind, or could never tell the difference between a cheap or an expensive bottle? Would you like to develop those skills? It takes practice and focus. And, yes, you can do it! Recently, working with Allison Schumann, I have seen an increased perception to the nuances of wine while experiencing her Sensory Journey, so we have decided to combine a lesson in tasting techniques with an experience of heightening your sensory perception through sound. The Sound Journey—a vibrational, tonal musical experience will bring you more intently into the moment, so your sensory skills will be sharper and more focused, making you a more astute taster. The class includes a complimentary tasting of three wines—all of the same varietal, which will be revealed at the end of class.

This is a series of classes, so each one will present new varietals and additional techniques. Take one or all, in any order. May 24th is the next one…and more to come!
