Blind Tasting Series
We are excited to introduce a new series of Blind Tastings designed to help you evaluate wine and hone your tasting abilities. Tasting wines “Blind” (without knowing anything about the wine before you taste it) allows you to rely only on your senses, to dive into the wine, pick it apart and ultimately guess what your tasting.
This monthly series covers strategies for tasting and evaluating wine in an open discussion based atmosphere. Three flights of wine are tasted blind. The first two flights are used to illustrate new attributes and qualities based on that night’s theme. The third flight is totally open, offering you the chance to use the tools you have just learned to guess each wine's grape variety and region of origin.

North America vs. South America
This month’s Blind Tasting Class will feature wines from North & South America. We will showcase the similarities and differences of these two “New World” growing regions. hile they share predominantly hotter temperatures and more fruit driven wines, differences in soil, grape variety and history give the Northern and Southern Hemispheres very unique personalities.

Components Breakdown
This class will explore the effects of different wine making techniques by tasting wines made from the same varieties but treated differently in the winery. Taste two Chardonnays, one with full malolactic fermentation and one with none, to see what the process does to the wine. We’ll explore the choices the winemaker has to make and the possible pitfalls. Join us this month for this fun and educational class.
When: Thursday, September 22nd | Time: 6:00pm | Cost: $24 per Person
