Sept 26 and 27
Regional Study - Greece: An in depth tasting experience focused on regional and indigenous varietals and classical production. We will explore both reds and whites from a variety of regions and styles. A wonderful opportunity to expand your experience with this region where wine has been produced for 4000 years! $47pp all inclusive

Oct 3 and 4
Wine Fundamentals: The Chemistry of Wine (Palate Training):
The most requested class I teach! This class breaks down the chemical composition of wine and explores how we taste. By isolating individual components such as sugar, acid and tannin, you will learn to identify and differentiate the spectrum of chemical components of grapes and the flavor components they create - all of which impact how we experience wines. This class is designed to help people understand wine more completely, and give consumers a better sense of the physical representations of wine on the palate: what they are tasting in the glass and why. $36pp all inclusive

Oct 10 and 11
Wine Fundamentals: The Winemaker's Class - Decision-making and Blending:
My favorite! we will explore the many decisions that a winemaker makes in crafting their final product and the impact of those decisions on the wine. We will also explore the impact of such techniques as oaking, barrel aging, lees contact, chaptalization, and blending. This class includes a hands-on exploration of blending to create a balanced wine! $45pp all inclusive

Oct 17 and 18
Regional Study - Sicily
According to legend, it was Dionysus (aka Bacchus) who brought pleasure to mankind, and wine to Sicily, but legend aside wine has been made on this southern Italian island for thousands of years and it is unique in style and substance. This class will cover the spectrum of unique white and red wines created in this unique and volcanic terroir. $48pp all inclusive ... See MoreSee Less
