Wine 101
NYC Wine Company See all classes by this school
Our Wine 101 is not only one of the best classes we offer, it's also my favorite one to teach. Yes, we talk fundamentals, but more than just a rote review of grapes and regions, our goal is to make wine your friend. In this class, you'll become familiar with what you like, but also why you like it. In turn, you'll know what questions to ask, what to look for on labels, and thus be able to find wines that fit your palate on a regular basis....
Spain & Portugal: Classic Wines
NYC Wine Company See all classes by this school @ Live Online via Zoom
You could sample a new Spanish wine every night of the year and still not experience all the variety that this country produces. Each region has their own specialty. Rioja creates smoky, earthy, subtle reds with the Tempranillo grape, while the Priorat region makes rich, dense, powerful reds from the Garnacha variety. The Ribera del Duero also employs the Tempranillo grape, yielding wines bigger and more powerful than those of Rioja. And this is...
Italy: North to South
NYC Wine Company See all classes by this school @ Live Online via Zoom
Without question, Italy provides a staggering percentage of the world's most distinctive and interesting wines. In addition, the sheer breadth of styles they produce is equally impressive. From the steely, minerally whites of the Tre Venezie and Val d'Aosta to the dark, powerful reds of Sicily and Campania, this country is a formidable force in winemaking, with something for everyone, and so much more. But you need to know where to look. ...
France: Making Sense of It All
NYC Wine Company See all classes by this school @ Live Online via Zoom
French wines ooze intimidation; the language, no grape listed anywhere in sight, countless vineyards and producers, and all this at often exorbitant prices. Yet even in the face of these apparent obstacles, France is worthy of our attention. Why? Simply because they still continue to create so many of the world’s most intriguing, exotic, and individualistic wines. France is the birthplace of most noble grape varieties we know today; Cabernet Sauvignon,...
Islands & Volcanoes
NYC Wine Company See all classes by this school
By far, one of my favorite class of the year. We’ll pour six wines. Some from islands. Some from volcanoes. Some from volcanoes on islands. We’ll talk about why these wines are unique, what sets them apart, and how to track them down. Islands are a special habitat for growing grapes. When the vineyards hug the coast, the grapes soak up the sun by day, and enjoy cool breezes by night, courtesy of the cooling effects of the ocean. The sun...
A Year in the Life
NYC Wine Company See all classes by this school @ Live Online via Zoom
I spent 18 years living in New York City, teaching wine, hosting tastings, and meeting countless people. Life was good, but when an opportunity arose to rehabilitate the vineyard of a dear friend in California, I did not hesitate. In May of 2020, I moved to Healdsburg, California, in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County, and set to work on a special piece of land with vines planted in 1934. This 10-acre parcel will serve as the backdrop for...
The Hidden California
NYC Wine Company See all classes by this school @ NYC Wine Virtual Classroom via Zoom
It’s human nature to want things we can’t have, or things which are rare. With wine it’s no different. Maybe it’s that bottle you had in Tuscany, made by a producer who does not import to the U.S., or a wine you read about, made by a small group of nuns in Campania, but they only produce 80 cases a year. I get it, as I, too, covet and wonder about such bottles. Thing is, rarity alone doesn’t make something good. It just means there isn’t...
The Hidden California 2
NYC Wine Company See all classes by this school @ Live Online via Zoom
It’s time for round 2 of our ‘Hidden California’ series, brought to you by NYC wine co. and the Bottle Barn. We have four cases of each wine, enough for 48 people to sign up, so do not hesitate! We hope you will join us, and not to worry if you missed the first 'Hidden California', this is a whole new series. Like we did in February, we will explore the hidden bounty of the Golden State. We have an Aglianico...
Treat Yourself (or Someone Else)
NYC Wine Company See all classes by this school @ Live Online via Zoom
The more we spend, the more we expect. It's human nature, and there's a logic to it. But with wine, it's tricky. Taste is subjective, while assessing quality on a scale of 1-10 is a dark art at best, and certainly not verifiable. I started writing the description above, then realized I was going down a rabbit hole with no end, so I'll cut to the chase. Spending more is no guarantee of, well, more. But having tasted...

Italy: North to South
Great knowledge. Fun experience. May not be best for. Novice but our 3 previous course selections were cancelled due to attendance. It was not the instructors fault - but not an environment welcoming to introductory education or for more elementary questions. Communication was lacking prior to the course - we did not receive the link or the promised cheese pairing suggestions. Would definitely book another course though - just not as welcoming an experience as would have been desired. -
