In this class you’ll learn, and remember, and focus on eight
common characteristics of the featured grape variety, plus how to
examine the wines for color, acidity, alcohol level, tannin, and the
ever elusive “complexity.” After some sensory warm-up, you’ll
be able to taste through a flight of five wines from all around the
globe, pick your favorites, and describe them like an expert. Pick
up shopping, aging, storage and food, and wine pairing tips along
the way.
This mono varietal, mega fun class will leave you an expert in
Cabernet Sauvignon.
