what to expect at our wine classes


Discover the delicious world of wine tasting.
We'll gather together with a small group of your favorite select people at your favorite select location to mingle, sip, learn, and relax. We munch on goodies for the first few minutes while our instructor goes over the wines we’ll be sampling that day. Depending on your package, these will include at least 4 different wines, thoughtfully hand-selected for your unique event and guests. You'll also get to experience the synergistic taste-magic that happens when you have well paired wine and hors d'oeuvre. We open with a little history of the region or grape varietal and learn why it matters to the wine we’ll be tasting.
With each new distinct bottle, we go through a process called "The Five S's of Wine Tasting” where we

Enjoy wine like never before.
You will hone your senses and learn to have confidence in our eyes, nose, and palette. Your wine instructor will teach how you how to decode and appreciate wine by:
-
Look: intensity, color, viscosity
-
Smell: intensity, fruity (tropical, red fruit, dried fruit), herbal, oaky, earthy, floral, citrus, spice, leafy, tea, etc.
-
Taste: sweetness, acidity, tannin, alcohol.
-
Source: varietal, region, vintage, producer, class
We discuss and sip as a group, and freely ask all the wine questions you've been too afraid (or maybe just too busy) to ask. This process will empower you to make better purchasing choices on the wine aisle, open a whole new world of appreciation for this timeless beverage, and best of all, be delicious and fun.
