CROWN THE KING: CULT CLASSICS
Tuesday, January 12
6:30 p.m.
$90 + tax
This class will explore that conundrum with a blind tasting of “cult” wines against a few “bargain” wines thrown into the mix. The results will be discussed and evaluated. Featured topics include blind tasting of “cult” wines, 100 point judging scale, tabulated results and a new King will be crowned!
BURGUNDY
Tuesday, February 2
6:30 p.m.
$90 + tax
The Wine of Kings! The success of the Bordeaux class helped Erik and Lars realize that there were many other wine geeks out there besides them. They had a monumental line-up of top Bordeaux and will follow up with an epic line up of Burgundy. Wineries include Comtes de Vogue, Jean Boillot, J-F Coche Dury, Arnaud Ente, E. Sauzet, Joseph Drouhin, to name a few. Topics covered during this class will be regional nuances and the Cru system.
