Tasting Seminars

Hops are flowers that add bitterness, flavor, aroma, and balance to beer. Just like wine grapes, hops are harvested once a year, and they taste different depending on the variety, where they're grown, and what the growing conditions were like. Join Master Cicerone Rich Higgins for a tasting workshop on the geography, flavor, and biology of hops from the perspectives of farmer, brewer, and chef.

Novice and wine experts alike, take your wine knowledge to the next level with this two-part course taught by wine importer and expert Oliver McCrum. By looking at wine from a structural standpoint and learning how acid, tannin, sweetness, and alcohol interplay in wine, we will begin to better understand our own palates and the components that make each wine unique. At the second class we will learn how to identify flaws in wine and learn that some flaws are acceptable and even welcome up to a certain threshold unique to each wine drinker.
