Wine Essentials: The Winemaker's Influence

with Tim Farrell
Wednesday 5/14 6:30pm

While the environmental attributes of a particular vineyard (aka the "terroir") is a very important factor in determining the style of wine produced from it, there are many other variables at play. CoolVines' Wine Director Tim Farrell concludes this three-part introductory series on wine appreciation with a look at how decisions made in the vineyard and the cellar play a huge role in how the wine will taste. We will pour pairs of the same grape from winemakers with very different techniques and styles (from oak aging to carbonic maceration to reductive/oxidative winemaking) to illustrate exactly why a wine tastes the way it does.

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.
