Wine 101

Wine SniffIt's no question people think that learning about wine can be challenging. But becoming an oenophile doesn't have to involve snobbery or intimidation. Start with our Intro to Wine class to taste the difference between dry versus sweet and light versus full. Our Wine Goddess, Diana Hamann, will walk you through terms like fruit, oak, spice, acidity and tannin in a fun, but educating environment. You'll walk away with a wine vocabulary to impress your friends!

Choose from upcoming Intro to Wine classes at both our Lincoln Square or Merchandise Mart locations.

  

Taste the Next Level 


If you've got the basics down and want to take your wine knowledge further, consider our  Wine Academy (formerly known as Wine Boot Camp). Each Sunday, you'll swirl, sip and taste your way to vinous enlightenment. It's perfect for people in the food industry or for anyone who wants to delve deeper into the world of wine. 

 

Join us for our next summer session which begins Monday, June 4 and meets each week for six weeks from 6:30pm-8:30pm at the Mart.     

 

Sign up here.  We're working on Level 2 of this program, so graduates can continue to learn. Stay tuned!
