Wine Essentials: The "Shape" of Wine

with Tim Farrell
Wednesday 9/9 6:30pm

September is back-to-school month, and wine classes are back in session! For this start to the fall, we are presenting two classes that are a perfect introduction to wine appreciation. Whether you just getting into wine, or looking to brush up on the basics, Wine Essentials classes are a great survey of the whole wine world. 

Tannins, acidity and alcohol are the fundamental chemical components of wine, and they combine in different ways to produce specific textures and "shapes" on your taste buds. CoolVines' Wine Director Tim Farrell will pour a variety of wines to illustrate essential descriptors such as "tannic," "crisp," "round," "light-bodied," "full-bodied," and much more. We will even tackle the most controversial and misused word in all of winedom, "DRY!" And as further proof of wine chemistry in action, we will pair some cheese and charcuterie with the wines to examine the interaction between food and wine. Join us!

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.
