Class Description

Description

Both grow Cabernet Sauvignon, both are fiercely loyal to their region, and both create intense, complex, long-lived wines. Yet they are not the same. Bordeaux, with its centuries of history and ornate chateaux, claims restraint and finesse as well as power, yet by a judicious hand. The wines of Pauillac, Margaux, Graves, St Julien, Pomerol, St Emilion and St Estèphe are all possible appearances.

As for Napa, they too have a rich history, yet it is one more of rags to riches than of landed gentry. Here, with their all too reliable sunshine and rainless summers, they craft wines that display purity of fruit, seamless tannins, soft mid-palates, and simply put, gobs of flavor. Both locales, however, offer up many exceptions to these stereotypes, leaving one to consider the producer and not the region alone.

We will taste a number of wines blind so you can decide without the label which you prefer. We will also sample wines of different price points to determine if the higher priced bottles are actually worth the added cost. Older vintages may also play a role with bottle prices for the tasting ranging from $20 to $50. We will accompany the wines with a number of perfectly aged cheeses, some French, some American.

Refund Policy

If you need to cancel for any reason, you must notify us at least three days before the class date in order to receive credit towards a future date. No refunds.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    The class was very informative, it started on time and the instructor monitored the class very well. I entered the class without taking Wine 101, which I will be taking next week. The wine was delicious and I never had an appreciation for wine before and I do now.
