We have an open date, so if anyone is interested in attending one of my super educational and highly crazy Wine Appreciation Classes, send me a note! The class is $40 per person, dinner included and we’ll analyze 20 plus wines! Here’s the fun and educational part about the class: We’ll dispel 100’s of myths and collective delusions about wine and wine pairings that pervade our wine and restaurant industry. We’ll demonstrate how your unique taste bud count, your past experiences with flavors, your subconscious, conscious decisions, sound, sight, smell and taste all create a personal map as to how you interpret flavor and why you like what you like in food and wines. Plus, we will show you that taste and smell are not related senses at all. Not one iota. Nope. Nada. Huh? Intrigued yet? I just love collective delusions not based on science…..or based on junk science! We limit the class to 35 or so folks. We’ll show you how wines are professionally judged and how to rate wines, then, show you how the “Ganzfeld Effect” among others makes judging wine by ranking non flawed wines a virtual impossibility. Finally, I’ll demonstrate how Cabernet Sauvignon or some other big red may taste better out of a glass designed for Riesling or Chardonnay…for some.
