Wine Class: Blind Tasting 101

Join us on February 5th at 6pm for an interactive and educational session about a unique way to enjoy and learn about classic wines! Many of you have heard about sommeliers blind tasting wine and the mystique that comes with the skill set. We’re here to tell you it’s not that hard! We all have similar physical abilities as tasters, it’s just a matter of being shown the mental pathways that wine professionals take when tasting selections.

The real motivation behind blind tasting is not to be able to impress a room of people with your crazy spot-on guess. Trained Sommeliers still make wrong guesses all the time! The reason we do this is it makes us better tasters as we break down the why and the how without any preconceptions about what is in the glass. We'll be tasting 3 reds and 3 whites from classic regions. This will be a very fun and informative class led by Fearrington Wine Director Troy Revell, please join us!

A few small bites from Chef Gagne are included and wines tasted will be available for purchase at the end of the event.
