The Wine Academy Class 1: An introduction to exceptional wines, tasting methods and more...

Taste well...

Taught in an intimate and engaging atmosphere where you are encouraged to share your impressions and ask questions, Sommelier Ray Grimes will guide you through the proper way to handle, taste, and enjoy hand selected, exceptional wines. This class will be modeled after both the Deductive Tasting Method (Court of Master Sommeliers) and the Systematic Approach (Wine and Spirit Education Trust).

Ray will address the different types of wine and how they're made as you explore the brilliant wines listed below:

• A. R. Lenoble Champagne, France
• Macon Peronne White Burgundy
• Ame Du Vin Provence Rose', France
• Chateau Busquet St. Emilion, France
• Truchard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, CA
• Feist Ruby Port

Light palate cleansers will be presented during your class to assist as you further explore the nuances of that afternoon's wines.

The average class time will be approximately 2 hours and there will be an additional hour after class to purchase and enjoy the wines by the glass or by the bottle at a Wine Academy only, reduced price. Bottles will also be available to purchase to take home with our guests.

Seating will be limited to 20 guests.

Class: $49* presented at the end of the class
