Wine Essentials: Regions & Grapes

About this class

Vino's Wine Essentials class is structured as an introduction for people who drink wine but want to understand what they're tasting rather than just whether they like it. The instructor covers the five major wine regions, the twelve most important grape varieties, and the basic principles of how climate, soil, and winemaking decisions produce the flavors in the glass. You taste four wines chosen to illustrate the concepts, and the session closes with guidance on how to read a wine label confidently.
