August 10, 2009 at 7:00 pm-8:30 pm
Location: Gordon's Fine Wine & Culinary Center
Instructor:
Cost: $25 per person

THIS CLASS WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, AUGUST 4TH, BUT HAD TO BE POSTPONED. THEREFORE YOU CAN STILL SIGN UP FOR THE WHOLE SERIES AT THE DISCOUNTED PACKAGE RATE OF $130. OTHER DATES WILL STAY THE SAME. THANK YOU.

 

Looking closely at different, internationally significant varietals, their origins, where they flourish, what "turns them on and off," and most importantly wines that are made from them. Michael will select an assortment of wines he feel best represent the scope of each varietal. Each class will focus on a group of varietals that are related in one way or another.

 

This series is a great follow-up to Wine Beginnings. Also perfect for those starting to learn about wine and for those at a more intermediate level. Michael is a great teacher with a wealth of knowledge. Just TRY to stump him!

 

Five to eight wines will be featured in each class. (Special discounts will apply.)

 

Cheese and crackers will be served.

 

Classes can be purchased individually or at the discounted rate of $130 for the 6-class package.

 

Also available in 3-class packages for $65: 1st half, 2nd half
