Carlow Cookery Wine Tasting: Wines of South America

Wines of South America (Wine Tasting)   7pm Wine Certification Course, Part 9  Thursday, 09/24/15 Instructor: Mike Conti

$60

Even though it doesn't always get the attention, South America is home to some of the hottest wines on the market today. Until recently, the region consumed most of the wine it produced. Now, quality wines are being produced with an eye on the export market. The result is some incredibly good wines that can be had less expensively than wines of equal quality produced in Europe and elsewhere. We'll guide you on the countries, producers and varietals that you should look for on the shelves of your local wine store. About the class Join us for a comprehensive course on understanding and appreciating wine. Each fun and informative session is focused on a different aspect of wine so that by the end of the series participants have a solid understanding of what is available on the market and how it suits their palate. In addition to tasting six selected wines, you'll gain a better understanding of each region's producers and significant varietals - all in a relaxed environment that allows for questions and feedback. A three course dinner is served throughout the evening. The classes are taught by Mike Conti, President/Wine Educator of From Stem to Learn. Mike has over 32 years in the hospitality and education industries. He gained valuable knowledge of wine through his professional experience Carlow Website: http://carlowcookery.com/doylestownclasses.htm
