Wine Fundamentals: The Essential Grapes

About this class

This class cuts through the overwhelming number of wine varieties to teach you eight essential grapes that account for most of what you will encounter in a good wine shop. You taste two examples of each grape from different regions to see how the same variety expresses itself differently based on climate, soil, and winemaking choices. The sommelier explains what to look for on a label and how to predict whether you'll like a wine before you open it.
