The Wine in Your Glass
Lifelong Learning | Registration opens 1/8/2025 9:00 AM EST
This course will focus on gaining a better understanding of the wine in your glass. We will discuss wine tasting and evaluation approaches and the elements of the nose and palate to consider when tasting wine. The class will taste a variety of wines selected to illustrate some of these elements. This will provide insight into the characteristics, aromas, and flavors in your glass of wine and help to identify what you do and don’t like and why. We’ll also discuss food pairings with wine, what works, what doesn’t, and options. Each week, students will have the opportunity to sample 3 to 5 wines alongside small food items that will serve to cleanse the palate between tastings.
This course will have an additional fee of $40 to cover the cost of the wines. This class will meet for 3 weeks and begin on February 12. This class has been offered before.
