Wine Bootcamp

@ Little Washington Winery

WINE BOOTCAMP - Spend 2 hours with us and we'll turn you into a certified wine snob! You could call this Wine301. Led by our wine maker, Carl, this seminar is the snob free zone in plain English all about wine. Learn every thing you ever wanted to know about wine including how to taste like a pro, how to achieve aeration perfection, how to choose the perfect bottle in the wine shop, how to pair food with wine and get it right every time, the chemistry of making red versus white wine, what you are really supposed to do with the cork they hand you in a restaurant, how to tell if you are buying a dessert wine made with the juice from a grape or with a bucket load of granulated sugar. This session includes a molecular pairing experiment with a sandwich, 5 chocolate pairings and the Dirt Road Wine Tour.
