WINE CLASS:
HOW TO TASTE
AND TALK WINE
Experience overview
Our introductory class. This is where your journey begins!
Shopping for wine can be intimidating and overwhelming. Finding wines that are perfect for you begins with expressing those characteristics that appeal to you most.
Through four sensory and tasting experiences, you’ll learn about the basic components of wine – body, tannin, acidity, sweetness and flavors/aromas. You’ll then see how these attributes manifest in a curated set of wines. This class is so much more than a typical wine tasting! And perfect for someone new to wine, or with some knowledge and looking to expand on it.
Experience #1: The Sensory Exercise.
You’ll receive your very own sensory kit to experience the key components of wine firsthand. Understand the source, importance and role of:
Body
Tannin
Acidity
Sweetness
Experience #2: Aromas & Flavors.
The language of wine hinges on this, so we’ll test your ability to discern aromas. A fan favorite!
Experience #3: The Wine Tasting.
This class is a lot more than theory, and we’ll have plenty of wine to enjoy. Six hand-picked selections will reinforce the sensory exercises and solidify your learnings. You may even discover a new favorite variety or style of wine!
Experience #4: The Pairings.
As long as wine is being enjoyed, we believe food has a place at the table. To enhance the wine experience, you’ll enjoy gourmet and imported cheeses and snacks that perfectly pair with each of the wines. And crackers, of course.
