Info: Full-bodied…light-bodied…what do these terms really mean? This seminar is a crash course through the spectrum of wine styles - 3 whites and 3 reds, each flight varying in style, and we guarantee you'll walk away with more wine knowledge by the end of this 6-wine tasting.

Wine styles vary enormously, and tasting your way through stark comparison is the fastest way to understand why. This tasting is designed to teach your palate the difference through contrast, sharpening it no matter your experience level.
