G119 Top Gun Wines!
Students have asked for a class with wines that are a little bit “better”: better quality, more complex and integrated, somewhat esoteric, higher priced, etc. THIS IS IT! The emphasis is only on top quality wines that are fun to taste and learn about. There is no theme or regional focus. Each class will feature a variety of wines from around the world, including one from Len’s personal wine cellar. They’ll be mostly red and white dinner wines with a few sparklers and dessert. If you are ready to move up to the next level of wine experience, knowledge, and appreciation - see you there! A wine and materials fee of $100 is payable to the instructor at the first class. Limit: 13 students. Three weeks.

G120 Wine Varietals: Different Grapes . . . Different Tastes
Wines taste different from each other because they are made from different grapes. Just as a Granny Smith apple tastes different than a McIntosh apple, wines made from Merlot, Chardonnay, and others each have unique flavors that are derived primarily from those grapes. This class will focus on a different grape each week, and our goal will be to learn more about its aroma and flavor profile as we taste the wines made by different winemakers from around the world. This class has the added dimension of being a blind tasting, i.e., we taste the wines randomly “in brown bags” in order to eliminate any preconceptions. A wine and materials fee of $75 is payable to the instructor at the first class. Limit: 13 students. Five weeks.
