Event Description
If you like wine and would like to know more about it, this 3-part Tues evening course is the perfect introduction.
Learn by experience. Taking the main grape varieties found in shops and supermarkets, we help you understand their essential character.
We also explain different expressions of those grapes so you can understand why you might prefer one over another.
And we bring nibbles so you can experience the effect of pairing food with these wines in the classroom.
All our wine events are relaxed and fun - a perfect sociable evening out while you taste and learn!
At the end of this 3-part experience, you will understand:
- The structure and flavours of: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris/Grigio and Riesling
- The structure and flavours of: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah/Shiraz
- Key names to look for on wine bottles to recognise French wines made from these grapes
- Pairing food with these wines
