Virtual Wine Tasting: Unlock the Secrets of Wine

Learn tasting techniques used by wine pro's to get the most enjoyment from every sip.  This is a unique opportunity to explore each of wine's primary styles (bubbly, still and fortified) along with Advanced Sommelier Mary Ross, revealing the wine's face, nose, palate and finish as we go. We'll also practice wine vocabulary that you, your sommelier and wine merchant can understand and discuss wine and food pairing.  While this seminar is a step up from the basics (see “How to Bluff Your Way through Wine”), no prerequisite is required.

To enhance your experience, we recommend you’re tasting the same wines with Mary Ross during class. Order your three bottles of wine for curbside pickup from The Chopping Block Lincoln Square on Wednesday and Thursday from 1-5pm, Friday from 12-4pm, or Saturday from 12-2pm.

Wines Featured in Class:

• “Bosco di Gica” Prosecco Superiore DOCG, Adami, Valdobbiadene, Italy, NV
• Cabernet Sauvignon, Requiem, Columbia Valley, Washington, 2017
• ‘Warrior’ Reserve Port, Warre’s, Duoro Valley, Portugal

If you’re unable to pick up the wines from TCB, we recommend you procure bottles featuring the same region and grape. This includes:

• Prosecco from Italy
• Cabernet Sauvignon from Columbia Valley
• Reserve Ruby Port from Portugal

Complete your evening, and order one of our charcuterie and cheese plates to enjoy during your wine tasting available for curbside pickup on Friday, 3/26 from 12-4pm.

Our virtual tastings, via Zoom, are a fun opportunity to watch your sommelier in action. Our Zoom moderator will make sure your questions submitted through the chat option are answered during or  after class. The tasting packet will be provided upon registration.
