Introductions to Wine Tasting

Course Description

NOTE: Wine Tasting often is booked beyond capacity. Students will be notified within one week of the Showcase whether they are in this class or on the waitlist. The class consists of tasting wines from different wine producing regions. Tentative plans (subject to availability of wines) are to investigate wines from Tuscany, which will be divided into two sessions due to the large number of producing areas, Alto Adige which I have previously covered but for which new information is available, and Alsace. The classes will discuss the factors that affect wine including the geology, climate, topography, and cultures of the people producing the wines. Some attention will be given to wine and food pairing. Each class will taste about 5 wines that are characteristic of the region. Limited to 12 participants Instructor: Dave Menzie Fees: $60 for materials will be invoiced prior to the date of the class.
