Minnesota Wine School 9 Classic International Grapes Tasting Course
Introduction Lesson 1 Chenin Blanc - tasting breakdown Lesson 2 Pinot Noir - tasting review in more detail, old and new world wines Lesson 3 Sauvignon Blanc - tasting and food pairing Lesson 4 Merlot - tasting and Bordeaux, labels (spend on this one- get a Bordeaux that is primarily merlot, example a Pomerol) Lesson 5 Chardonnay - tasting, identifying oak, opening wine and restaurant secrets Lesson 6 Semillon - tasting and temperatures Lesson 7 Cabernet Sauvignon - tasting, tannin, and aging wines Lesson 8 Syrah and what to buy next (mine is french, which would be Northern Rhone) Lesson 9 Riesling - tasting, labels, sweet or dry?
You can buy the wine from anywhere, at any price, just look for the grape listed. We will discuss many different styles, so anything will work (just don’t buy a blend). wine.com is a slick website that delivers to any state. My best suggestion is to go to Surdyks and hand your list to a pro.
