Learn tasting techniques used by wine pros to get the most enjoyment from every sip. This is a unique opportunity to explore each of wine's primary styles 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 if joining us virtually. Order your five bottles of wine for pickup from The Chopping Block Lincoln Square
Wednesday-Friday from 12-5pm or Saturday from 10am-4pm.
