Wines of South Africa




« back to classes page
Chenin Blanc and Syrah assume exuberant, unique characteristics in this pristine wine growing region. Spice predominates in the reds and the whites are so finely crafted that they reverse-influenced the wines of Loire, developing a more forward style much like Loire also stared sticking to the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc style, more than a few situations where New World wines have influenced Old World wines; Africa's finest wines will be tasted.  Students must 21, and bring their own tasting glass. No substitutions - if your plans change, you must drop the class no later than 4 days before before to meet the refund deadline.

Notice

Please read:  Students must be 21 years or older and must bring ID to class.  Please arrive for class on time and bring a tasting glass. This class will be taught with the traditional swish and spit tasting technique. Since you will be tasting 2 oz samples of 7-8 different wines, it is very important that all students understand that swallowing will result in an individual drinking about a half bottle of wine, or 2 1/2 glasses. Due to the inherent risks associated with the consumption of alcohol, the following rules will be enforced: 1) You must be 21 years of age or older and you WILL BE CARDED. 2) Anyone who arrives visibly intoxicated will be immediately dismissed from the class and no refund issued. 3) Bring a water bottle, and drink lots of water. 4) Anyone who is visibly intoxicated at the end of class will have a Taxi called for them at the student's cost.
No substitutions - if your plans change, you must drop the class no later than 4 days before before to meet the refund deadline.
