Join Master Sommelier, Laura Fiorvanti, for 4 blind tasting classes! This series pack is a great way to learn to taste like a Master Sommelier. We will hone your deductive tasting skills and teach you how to tell the difference between classic grape varietals, based on three elements of wine: sight, nose, and palate.

In the first of 4 Blind Tasting classes, we will introduce the tasting grid with a focus on the clues that the "Sight, Nose, & Palate" give in accurately deducing the region, grape, vintage, and quality of a wine. Learn about clarity, color hues, rim variation, gas evidence, sediment and viscosity for the sight; flaws, intensity, families of fruit descriptors, non-fruit, oak and age for the aroma & flavor; and how to detect & evaluate the structure of wine: such as sweetness, acidity, tannin, and alcohol.

Recommended Wines:
Wine 1) Kabinett (off-dry) Riesling from Mosel, or other German region
Wine 2) California Zinfandel (or something like Valpolicella Ripasso if you cannot find Zinfandel)
Wine 3) California Cabernet Sauvignon
