My personal experience with wine thus far has mostly consisted of sharing drinks with family and friends in a casual environment. I often pick out a bottle with whomever I plan to share drinks with later. I am by no means a wine expert but I do enjoy critiquing wine and pinpointing which aspects of the bottle make us like or dislike the wine overall.


My favorite wines tend to be full-bodied red wines with complex flavor profiles. I am taking this class in order to teach me how to pick up subtle flavors so that I can more easily find wines appropriate for my preferences and to be able to suggest wines others will enjoy based on their preferences and price points.


I would also love to understand how different wine varieties work with different dishes in order to enhance the flavors of the meal. I would like this class to encourage me to try a diverse range of wines so that I can get the most from my wine experiences each time I pour a glass.
