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.***

RSVP Only $25 per person (Please note: this class must have 7 reservations to be held!) January 25 Ribera del Duero This historic growing region in

The Southern part of Wine’s most famous country is often ignored. Snobs like to put their noses in the air when referring to the non-designated areas of wine growing.
