This time of year, if we aren't retreating to the mountains for snowy sports, hot cheese, and a refreshing glass (or 4) by the fire, then we're probably thinking about it a lot. A much less expensive winter weekender panacea, this class will look at Alpine wines: what terroir defines them, what makes them unique, what foods pair well with them (beyond fondue and Raclette!) year-round.
Class is 2 hours long, including a Q&A session with sommelier and expert wine educator Chris Struck.
What you can expect:
- 1 sparkling welcome wine
- 6 wines with expressive Alpine terroir
- Palate cleansing bread & cheese
- A 20% discount on all wines tasted to use in-store after class
What you will learn:
- The terroir factors that define Alpine wines.
- Where Alpine wines are found throughout the world.
- How climate change is impacting wines from these places.
- What foods pair optimally with Alpine wines.
