The Wine Forum

The Wine Forum is in session! This is a series of classes designed for all levels, from novice to expert. It is a focused, sit down tasting that provides an opportunity to hone your tasting skills and identify what you like and why you like it. In this informal class, you will be provided with information about varietals, regions, wine makers, technique, terroir, and all that goes into taking a grape to the glass. You will appreciate the work involved and become more wine savvy. It is fun & you will learn without a test!

It is winter, so we crave bigger, bolder wines to warm us. Bold reds can sometimes overshadow a meal or simply exhaust the palate, but when these wines are done right, they are magical. We seek balance in all wines. What makes a bold red balanced? Acid, Tannin, Structure. Join me in discovering what that means and how to identify it.

This class with include wines from both New & Old World regions.

$25 includes instruction & a complimentary tasting of the wines we discuss.
