Have you ever looked at a wine list and wondered, "Have they always made wine in Slovenia?", “Is this the name of the winemaker or the grape?" or "What is an orange wine anyhow?" Or, just wished you could better express to sommeliers your likes and dislikes so they'd bring you the wine you actually want?

If so, you are not alone. In this class, wine and cheese expert and former wine bar manager of ten years, Kirstin Jackson, will break down the baffling wine list. We'll dissect a few of the wine lists of the best restaurants in town, sample some current wine darlings, learn about popular "somm darlings," also known as the the wine trends you'll see on BTG (by-the-glass) lists, and discuss how to use a common wine language to order the wines you really want. To illustrate all points, of course, we will drink wine. Expect to leave informed, refreshed, and able to order like a true wine geek.
