Welcome to the Classroom!
This two-part course is an amazing opportunity for anyone who has ever felt intimidated, confused, or are simply curious about French wines. In this class we will explore and taste wines from all the major wine-growing regions of France. We will discuss the grape varieties grown in each region, review basic wine-making techniques, and talk about how micro-climates affect grapes and wine. In addition, we will learn about French wine laws, labeling terms, and the French “Appellation” system. Finally, and most importantly, we will taste exemplary wines from each region.
The classes will be taught by wine importer Patrick Allen. Patrick has lived and worked in France and brings over 30 years of wine business experience to this course. Discover the tales behind the vineyards along with Patrick’s personal stories and share in his deep connection to the wines of France.
Each class will consist of a selection of ten wines accompanied by light hors d’oeuvres to elevate your tasting experience.
You do not need to take the “Part 1” in order to attend “Part 2”. However, a discount will be given to those who sign up for both classes.
