Program Description
Style is a simple way of saying complicated things... - Jean Cocteau
Beyond all the different grape varieties and wine regions of the world, how a wine is made makes just as big an impact on what comes out of the bottle. Almost any grape can be made into any style, or category, of wine including sparkling, rosé, and sweet or fortified wines. Our Wines with Style Series explores the very diverse regions, grapes and production methods used in these wine styles and examines how their attributes may be perceived in your glass.
We'll discover how these wines vary, even within their category, based on climate, soils and traditions in various international regions through a curated guided tasting in each class. This powerful three workshop series is eye opening for enthusiasts and a must for professionals and those studying for certification exams.
Each workshop includes a guided tasting of 6 wines.

Guided Wine Tasting Exercises
Taste over 60 wines to bring learning objectives to life and practice your tasting techniques. All wines are selected by Master Sommelier David Glancy and our Cellar Master
Roomers will taste in the classroom. Zoomers will have tasting kits they can either pickup or have delivered for an additional fee.
Wine Selections
Please note that for the Sparkling Wines of the World workshop only, there will be a different wine selection for Roomers and Zoomers due to the fact that sparkling wines do not preserve well in tasting kits and there is a limited selection of sparkling wines available in 187ml bottles. If you are interested in purchasing full or half bottles from us or elsewhere to supplement the selection we provide, please contact .
Requirements
All attendees must be at least 21 years of age
