Wine Essentials: Tasting Notes

with Tim Farrell
Wednesday 4/2 6:30pm

"Earthy," "Jammy," "Peppery," "Mineral." Do you ever hear these words spoken by a wine geek and think, "WHAT are they talking about?" (or maybe you think, "Jeez are they pretentious!) It's true, the complicated vocabulary known as "winespeak" contains a lot of useless words, but there are certainly a handful of commonly-used descriptors for wine that are incredibly effective at communicating to others just what your tastebuds sense. CoolVines' Wine Director Tim Farrell will pour many examples of wines that illustrate some of the most the widely-used tasting notes associated with wine, and help you learn how to describe exactly what you like, and DON'T like in a glass of wine. Join us for this fun introduction to talking (and tasting) wine!

To attend this event you must purchase a ticket in advance. The $30 price includes $10 for the seminar fee and $20 toward the purchase of wine or other products from CoolVines, which are consumed at the event. Attendees can choose a “seminar-only” ticket for $10 if they do not wish to participate in the tasting.  The $20 portion of your ticket will be applied toward the purchase of 1 or more bottles of wine or other product from CoolVines, which will be consumed at the event.  Your wine will be delivered to the seminar venue for your convenience.  It is encouraged that participants offer their bottles to share with the group so that all participants are able to taste all products at the event.  48-hr cancellation notice is required for refund. Cancellations received after that time will be refunded at the sole discretion of CoolVines. No-shows will not receive a refund.
