Course Description

Instructor: Kelleen Hubbs

BORDEAUX 101

In this four-week course, we will cover the fundamentals of this famous wine region, including its history, geography, grape varieties, appellation system, and classifications. We will also taste a fine, aged Bordeaux, as we discuss Bordeaux's aging potential. This series will take the mystery out of Bordeaux terms and wine labels, giving you the tools to order and purchase Bordeaux with confidence.

Four wines will be tasted at each class. Cheese and crackers will be provided. Participants are asked to bring two wine glasses to each class.
