One of the most effective ways to develop your wine knowledge is to taste a wide variety of different wines. This comprehensive around-the-world wine and cheese tasting offers exactly that opportunity, featuring selections from diverse regions and emerging wine-producing areas. Rather than focusing on a single country or theme, this tasting showcases wines from around the globe, with particular attention to up-and-coming producers from South Africa, South America, Australia, Spain, and New Zealand. Each wine is carefully paired with a specific artisanal cheese selected for its compatibility and sourced from Murray's Cheese Shop, recognized as one of the finest cheese purveyors in the country.
Tasting wines in carefully curated pairings demonstrates what makes each wine unique while helping you discover your personal preferences. The session also highlights the specific grape varieties used in each wine, explores how climate and production methods influence the final product, and provides guidance on finding similar wines to expand your personal collection. By understanding these elements, you will be equipped to discover new bottles suited to your specific palate every day of the week.
While our classes can become animated and lively by the end, this remains a genuine educational experience. You will leave with opportunities to learn, discover new grape varieties and regions, understand what appeals to your individual taste, and explore why those preferences matter.
