We're living in a golden age of cheap wine. Taste some high QPR (quality/price ratio) wines and learn how to spot a bargain.
Discover the art of enjoying exceptional wines without breaking the bank! #FWOTB is for wine lovers seeking high-quality, everyday wines priced well under $20. We’ll explore a curated selection of hidden gems, highlighting wines that offer incredible value, flavor, and excitement. Whether you're a seasoned sipper or just getting into wine, you’ll learn how to find the best bargains and feel confident about your next budget-friendly bottle. Come prepared to taste, learn, and leave with a fresh perspective on affordable fine wines.
We always have bread, olives, and antipasto with class as we explore wine and food pairing fundamentals as well.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND This is a survey course for beginners and enthusiasts alike. It assumes some exposure to wine but little or no formal wine knowledge. This program is appropriate for both consumers and professionals in all wine, food, hospitality and service industries.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Students will learn technical wine tasting, the major high-value wine regions of the world, and fundamentals of wine pricing and bargain shopping. The emphasis is on providing an overview of value wines, plus some wine & food pairing concepts.
PLEASE NOTE Wine & food menus are subject to change based on availability, inspiration, and whimsy!
