At Wine² we feel that education is the key to appreciating wine. We believe one can be an oenophile (a wine enthusiast) without being a snob.
Everyone has to start exploring wine in an area in which they feel comfortable. You may be ready to explore 40 year old Bordeauxs or perhaps you want to start with dessert wines.
Either way there is no wrong place to start and no incorrect tastes, only an accumulation of knowledge.
That's why we offer wine classes, everything from basics to tasting young wines with aging potential. We also offer special server classes for those who work in fine dining. We welcome restaurants to contact us regarding training their staff at either our place or yours!
Below is the current schedule for classes. If you'd like to schedule a private class please let us know.
***Please note that the attire and atmosphere of our classes are casual. However, please do not wear cologne, perfume or other scented products to the class and unscented fabric softener is appreciated. Remember that gum, sodas and toothpaste immediately prior to the class greatly hinder your tasting ability.
Reservations are strongly encouraged for our classes. We limit attendance to 14. If we do not have at least 7 RSVPs we do not conduct class.***
All Classes are 4pm on Saturdays. Reservations are highly recommended as class space is limited to 14. Prices are per person and include tasting.
Class Schedule
August 2, 4pm Wine & Cheese $20
Wine and cheese are a classic pairing but not all cheese goes with all wine. We will talk about everything from soft to hard to flavored cheeses and the best ways to match them with wine. As usual this class is hands on with tasting involved. RSVP only.
August 9, 4pm Italian Whites $18
People often think Pinot Grigio when they think white Italian wine. However, there are many other refreshing choices perfect for hot summer days and fresh cuisine. RSVP only.
August 16, 4pm Wine Myths Class $15
There are so many myths floating around about wine. There seem to be misunderstandings about grape varieties, styles of wine, additives and service. We’ll have fun while playing the true of false game and dispel some of these. Of course wine tasting will be involved! RSVP only.
August 23, 4pm Blind Tasting Class $15
It’s that time again: blind tasting and sharpening the palate. This time we’re going to have a contest at the end of class, first prize is a bottle of wine. RSVP only.
August 30, 4pm Terroir and White Wine Class $20
Terroir is a fancy sounding word that seems mystic and, in a way, it is. Its influence on the final product can be profound. We’ll taste three pairs of white wines of the same grape but different terroir and talk about the differences. RSVP only.
September 6, 4pm Fall wine and Food Tasting Class $20

The weather should be turning cooler just around the corner (should). So let’s get ready for it by tasting some rich dark brews and talk about how they are made and foods for pairing. RSVP only.
September 20, 4pm Sicilian Wine $18
September 27, 4pm Argentinean Wine $15
Argentina has made an impression over the last 12 years; good wines, good values. That’s a big turn around from its previous reputation. Join us as we talk about some of the hottest new bottles as well as classic wines. RSVP only.
