Advanced Wine Tasting

This is set for people that have an understanding of wine and would like to further their knowledge. We will be tasting and discussing taste and smell markers. Wine vocabulary will be used with the opportunity to take wine tasting notes. If the group is keen we can do one or more wines blind for an entertaining challenge. Wine tasting will include a background of regional style, international popularity and the question of how a wine is priced. The class will run approximately one and a half hours.

Wines will be stellar choices, hand chosen by myself to reflect a true example of the grape, growing area and the artful skill of the winemaker. We will discuss aging wines, cellaring in Alberta and vintage releases.

The wines chosen will be imaginative high quality choices found in our local wine boutique, Baseline Wines. www.baselinewine.com

Wines chosen will be:

Champagne

Dry German Riesling

Premium Chardonnay

French Bordeaux

Premium South American or Australian blend

Italian Amarone
