The World's Top Wine Grapes Uncorked: Next Level Wine Course

Taste & discuss 8 hand-craft wines to uncork your understanding of wine’s most important factor - the grape! Tasting includes 2 examples each of Chardonnay, the Empress of Grapes; the only grape with its own Academy Award-winning movie, Pinot Noir, including a Grand Cru Champagne!; Malbec, wine’s Comeback Kid; and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Emperor of Grapes, along its closest relative, Cabernet Franc, the wine world’s current rising star red. Join Advanced Sommelier Mary Ross in this Next Level wine course, and learn how soil, climate and human culture create a rainbow of flavor that is wine.  Wine-friendly noshes including Baked Brie en Croute will be served to test the “rules” of wine and food.
