Sip, Swirl & Learn

Ever wondered what wine pros mean by “structure,” “mouthfeel,” or “finish”?Join us for a casual and informative hour with Andrew Marshall of Kellogg Selections and learn how to taste wine with confidence—without the pretense. Whether you're a wine lover looking to sharpen your palate or a total beginner, this workshop will help demystify the process and elevate your enjoyment of every sip.

• How to distinguish between varietals and wine styles
• How food pairing affects flavor (charcuterie optional!)
