Instructor: Troy Seefeldt
Class type: Take Notes! | These are our classic "lecture-styled" classes, where you're given lots of in-depth information by a knowledgeable instructor. Anyone is welcome to attend, but these classes are geared toward folks with more than a passing interest in the subject.
WHAT YOU'LL GET IN THIS CLASS:
- A deep-dive, instructor-led tasting.
- 7 wines from across time and space!
- Individual cheese plate.
- Special pricing on all featured wines.
We've been crushing grapes and making wine for over 8,000 years, so what better way to travel across time and space with wines from the ancient world! From wine's origins in Georgia and Armenia where they were aged in massive, subterranean qvevri, to the amphorae of ancient Egypt, Lebanon, Greece, and Rome, we'll be tasting history in a way that's never felt so new and present! Join Troy as your fellow time traveler for an evening of casual education that is may or may not get just a little bacchanal. (Toga not included).
