8-Week Wine Course

Around the World

Join this class if you are looking for a complete coverage of the world's major wine regions, varieties, and the current trends in winemaking. We'll start with the components of a wine and wine-tasting techniques; then we'll get to know the major regions of the world. Among other topics, we'll talk about the differences between the "New World" and the "Old World", the concept of terroir, the importance of the vintage and the producer, and the recent developments in the wine world. You will learn how to decode a wine label, how to identify faulty wine, and the major principles of matching food and wine. We'll also have a class where we taste the same wine from different glasses to see if and how the glass matters.
