What to Bring for Class
Each person must bring the following supplies to class:
- 2 wine glasses of the same size and shape. Glasses should be clear and not colored glass.
- 2 unblended wines of the same type but from different regions or vintage years - about ½ cup each in separate, labeled containers or bottles. Choose your favorite wine!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
For Example:
1 (1/2 cup) Merlot – California (region)
1 (1/2 cup) Merlot - Virginia (region)
Same wine (Merlot) but from different regions (California & Virginia)
OR
1 (1/2 cup) Merlot - Virginia 1990 (vintage year)
1 (1/2 cup) Merlot - Virginia 2006 (vintage year)
Same wine (Merlot) from the same region (Virginia) but from different vintage years (1990 & 2006)
Choose your favorite wine - either red or white but not both.
Bring single variety wines. Do not bring blends.
In addition to regular size bottles, lots of wines come in small bottles boxes & splits for your convenience.
If you are coming with others, you can bring whole (750ml) bottles allowing 4 to 6 per bottle for tasting purposes.
Choose only 1 variety of wine
But choose 2 different regions or 2 different vintage years
