Our wine education classes are held monthly on the last Thursday at 6:30 pm. We have a format unique to the area in which we taste each wine pared with hors d'voeuvre to help educate you about selecting wine to serve with your meals. A wine industry professional presents in-depth information about each winery and the winemaking process. We even get out the maps and talk about geography and "terroir." A fun and tasty time is had by all! Classes are $5 per person and we offer a discount of 10% on six bottles and 15% on 12 or more bottles, mix and match. Our everyday wine discount is 5% on six bottles and 10% on 12 or more bottles, mix and match. So come to class and save BIG!
