Berrys' Classic Wine Regions Course Feb 24; Mar 3, 10, 17, 24, 31

This six-week course focuses on the world’s classic wine regions, showing the breadth of wine styles that each has to offer. Each session links wine tasting to climate, soil, grape variety and winemaking techniques, looking at the special characteristics of each region and highlighting leading producers. We examine the philosophy behind old and new European and New World styles as well as the concepts of quality and value.

We also look at various systems of classification that exist and provide assistance for navigating wine lists. Finally, we cover how wine matures and how vintages differ across the hemispheres. This course would be suitable for those who have completed the Introductory Course or who already have some basic wine knowledge. A selection of nuts, olives and cheeses will be served at each session.
