Sometimes it seems like there are just too many wines out there. The antidote? Focus...and diversity. Join W.R. Tish, former editor of "Wine Enthusiast," for a delicious crash course in the most essential wines for the modern-day palate. Sparkling, check. White wines, try four iconic styles. Reds: one blended, one not, one site-driven and one grape-driven. Throw in one mystery wine to hone your blind-tasting skills, a nectar-like dessert wine, and Tish’s standup-peppered delivery, and it all adds up to a perfect one-night roundup of the wines that will put you in the know.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

You will enjoy these with a selection of California wines.
