Wine Classes on Sundays
Starting May 17th 2008
1:00 -3:00pm
Instructor: Ian Coyne, Certified Sommelier
We know there's a lot of information floating out there in cyberspace and a lot of people trying to get your attention but we've had numerous request to provide a platform where you guys could learn more detailed information about wine. We're open seven days a week at The Wine Shop and we thought Sunday afternoons would be a great time for this. We also know that it's hard to commit to a long six to seven week program so we've broken our classes up into an a la carte fashion. This way there's time to focus in detail on a particular
country's wine regions but not so long that the class conflicts with the other commitments in your lives. No one knows wine better than our staff and we're excited to be sharing that knowledge with you. With this format you can choose to focus on one country or more. The choice is yours. We'll be tasting some really great wines and light hors d' oeuvres will be provided. Seating is limited so call early to make your reservations... |

About your instructor..
Sir Ian Coyne, Certified Sommelier
Nominated for fourteen Emmies (not really) and called America's Funniest Wine Geek by Conrad Hunter, Ian Coyne has over 15 years experience in the hospitality industry. As a sommelier, he has worked at Cassique restaurant on Kiawah Island, S.C and Doonbeg Golf Club in Ireland. While "critiquing" the pub fare in Ireland, Ian ran into a lot of pints of Guinness and a lot of great food and wine experiences that helped that to feed his passion for food and the drink. Ian's restaurant management experience includes prestigious establishments such as the Harbour Club in Charleston, S.C. and The River House at Palmetto Bluff, in Bluffton, S.C. At both locations he left a knowledgeable wine staff and a healthy bar tab. Join Ian, while we discuss the key points to the major wine regions of Italy and France. P.S. Please, at least, pretend to laugh at his jokes. He is used to it...
