Join us for a special three-part series hosted by Michael Green of Stacole Wines in conjunction with store manager Gary O’Brien of Michael’s Wine Cellar.  

Introduction to Wine – Three-Part Seminar
Wednesday, July 23, Wednesday, July 30 and Wednesday, August 6
6:30 – 8:00 Each Wednesday Evening 

  • The first evening (7/23) will give you a solid understanding of the history of wines – from ancient times through current production – as well as information about the process of making wines, grape varietals (and their various clones or counterparts used in other parts of the world) and information about the various terriors of the world along with their importance.
  • The second evening (7/30) will take you through the major areas of what is considered “old world” wine, including France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal.
  • We will wrap up this series with the third and final evening (8/6) focusing on highlights of “new world” wines, which include domestic (US), South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

During each session you will taste up to six wines representing the overall theme of that evening. Light hors d’oeuvres will be offered at each event.
