Ever wonder why certain wines pair better with certain foods? Join me for a virtual wine and food pairing experience.

We'll also go over wine and food pairing basics to help you prepare for your next dinner party or evening out.

Calling all fans of Moscato, I have got a class for you! Sweet wines tend to get a bad reputation in the wine world and I think it's about time we fixed that. This class will go over the basics of wine and how to taste. Our tasting portion will focus on wines on the sweeter, fruitier side. Wines discussed include Moscato d'Asti, Riesling (the sweet version), Tawny Port, and possibly a surprisingly fizzy red!

Italy is home to over 50,000 winemakers making wine from more than 350 different varietals of grapes! It sounds unbelievable, but when you consider that the country has a 4,000 year old history in making wine, it starts to make sense. We'll narrow it down and focus on three of the most well known wine regions in Italy as well as discussing food pairing and learning to decode an Italian wine label.

Chile might not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of great wine, but after this class it will be! We will learn about the history of winemaking in Chile, why so many French winemakers ended up in Chile, and the incredible wines coming out of this region now.

As a Seattle based business, it would be a disservice not to offer a class on the incredible wines being made in the state of Washington. Learn about the history of winemaking in WA, how Walla Walla Valley went from drab to fab, and all the exciting wines WA is making today.
