“Wendy Talks Wine”
Wine Classes at the Belfry Bistro
Everything you always wanted to know about wine but were afraid to ask!
Does wine confuse you? Are you intimidated by the 100 bottle wine list when you go out to dinner? Do you buy wine because you like the label? Do you enjoy wine and want to learn more but don’t know where to start? If you take this four week course I guarantee you will be an educated wine consumer when you finish…....and you’ll have fun!
“Super Palate” - Class #1 – Wednesday, March 5th
Have you ever walked into a wine tasting and asked the person pouring, “What’s good?” What’s good for me isn’t necessarily good for you. Everyone’s palate is different. This class will help you identify your likes, and dislikes, and learn how to communicate them when you purchase wine at a restaurant or wine shop. By the end of this class we will taste wines and create our own descriptions using typical wine terminology.
“Getting down to Basics” - Class #2 – Wednesday, March 12th
How is wine made? How do the bubbles get in the wine? What’s the difference between Chardonnay and Riesling? What is fortified wine? What is organic and biodynamic wine? Should I buy wine with a screwcap? We will start from scratch in this class to be sure everyone understands some of the basics. Bring your questions!
“Wines of the World” - Class #3 – Wednesday, March 19th
There is now more good wine available than ever before. Have you ever tried Viognier, Grenache, Cabernet Franc, Petite Syrah, or Gruner Veltliner? In this class you will travel with me all over the world tasting wines sometimes made from grapes only grown that country. It’s such an education, and so much fun.
“Which wine goes with dinner?”- Class #4 – Wednesday,March 26th
Okay, now you know how wine is made, how to describe the flavors you like, which varietals you like best, which region you like the most, and how to purchase wine economically. So what wine goes best with the dinner you’re making tonight? Let me help make this easy for you by breaking it all down to basic flavors. This class is my most popular so you won’t want to miss it.
Classes begin at 6:30…..$30 or $100 for all four….
