Greetings!
Just a reminder to everyone that wine classes start in three weeks! Throughout October, we are offering the 5-part series, Become a Wine Expert.
We are only offering the 5-part course once a year. Space is limited to 12 people, so sign up early to be sure you get a spot!
Kathleen Erickson, "The Wine Ph.D." and co-owner of Savour Wine and Cheese, will teach the 5-part series, beginning Tuesday, October 1 at 7:00 p.m. Kathleen has been teaching this hands-on series, based on tasting, for more than 10 years.
The class will take you through the skills associated with tasting and evaluating wines, from understanding different varietals (like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) to learning how to accurately describe your personal wine preferences. We explore the major white and red wines, with a special class that allows you to taste (first-hand) how temperature, decanting, stemware, and vintage affect the taste of your wine. We even include a section on Quality/Price ratio, where you learn how to get the most bang for your buck in a retail shop or restaurant. We end the series with a food and wine-pairing class and dinner.
Once you take the
Become a Wine Expert
series, you will likely know more than 80% of the people who will take care of you in the average wine shop or restaurant. The series gives you the practical information and knowledge to take charge of your own wine buying with confidence. It is a great course to take with a spouse, partner, or friend, when you are trying to find "common ground" in wines you will both love.
We will start the first class on Tuesday, October 1 at 7:00 p.m., holding a new class each consecutive Tuesday until we finish with a wonderful meal at the Chef's table on Tuesday, October 29. The all-inclusive price of $225.00 includes notebook, handouts, all wines, and some great food. The 5-part series is offered for $225.00, BUT, if you sign up by September 28th and pay the full amount in advance, you will get the series for $195.00. Sign up a friend to join you, and get the series for $175.00 That's only $35.00 a class! Just call Kathleen today with a credit card and make a deposit of $45.00 to hold your place. (The $45.00 deposit is refundable up until 48 hours before the scheduled class time).
