Description
INSIDER'S CALIFORNIA RED WINE
Mark is here with a comprehensive class designed to help to you choose California reds like a pro. No wine region has come further and faster in the wine world than California. Spanning the Sierra Foothills to Sonoma to Santa Barbara, we will explore key grape varietals of the Golden State with a special focus on market trends, innovative winemakers, and the microclimates and vineyards you need to know. We will also consider the issue of ageworthiness and secrets to visiting wine country. And we will cover sensory evaluation techniques, decoding the label, and optimal food pairings.
Moreover, if you’ve ever been to one of Mark's presentations, you know it is brimming with humor and his trademark "nuggets" of useful insider information that you won't find anywhere else.
The cost of the class is $55 per household, and if you want to taste along with Mark, this special kit is available from Wine.com:
- Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
- Sonoma Pinot Noir
- Syrah from California
- Zinfandel from California
The specific selection of wine, and vintage, can vary state to state but will always be fitting of the style required to best enjoy the class. All wines have been personally approved by Mark.
