Blind Tasting Class: Taste Like a Sommelier

Ever wonder how sommeliers name a grape and vintage from a single sip? It's not magic, it's method. Wine Director Kevin Cluppert teaches the Systematic Approach to Tasting that professionals use to break down a wine's structure, then puts it to the test with four wines served blind.

Guessing is half the fun, especially when you're comparing notes with the people next to you. A social way to spend a Sunday, and no experience is needed. This is the first class in a monthly series.

What to expect:

• Four wines tasted blind, then revealed
• The professional Systematic Approach to Tasting
• How to judge acidity, tannin, alcohol, body and finish
• A bigger vocabulary for describing aromas and flavors
• Complimentary cheeses, fresh baguette and accompaniments
