Wine Tasting for Beginners Only

Sure, you enjoy drinking wine, but can you pair it with your favorite foods? Can you speak the talk and tell the difference between key white and red varietals and styles?

Come to terms with the world of wine in a special tasting that helps you understand wine and how it’s made, while learning about key varietals and regions so you can express yourself and truly enjoy what’s in your glass. In this unique class, you’ll enjoy tasting a variety of wines while an expert (wine coach) explains common expressions and key characteristics used to explain each wine. You will also learn the lexicon of wine, food & wine pairing basics, buying/storing/serving tips, and all the while expand your palate and discover new favorites.

Learning about wine has never been easier or more fun!

Class will include:
Begin with an overview of wine as a drink, and wine as a lifestyle

By tasting wines, learn the key flavors and varietal distinctions of individual grapes i.e. Syrah/Shiraz is much about “Blackberry and Black Pepper”

Learn to distinguish and identify your personal favorites

Feel more confident in your tasting abilities and more comfortable choosing your wines

Seven (7) fine wines will be provided

All AWS courses with wine ALWAYS include light nibbles such as cheeses, salumi, olives, nuts, and a selection of crackers and fresh breads (some are Gluten-Free options)
