Upcoming Events

The next official event that I will be teaching at has been announced:

What- a class comparing Old World and New World versions of the same varietals
Where- Foam, at the corner of Jefferson and Cherokee
When- Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 7 pm
How much- $12 per person (a strikingly good bargain, if I do say so myselft)
Why- because you love wine, and this is a really cool, chill place to learn about it
Who- You, and everyone that's mildly interested in wine that you know

I have a couple of other things in development. I will be doing a 5 or 6 week series at 33 wine bar, more info to come. I am also working with the owners of Ernestos on setting up some events, and even talking to the folks at Entre Underground about doing something.

If you have any ideas for classes that you would like to take, please let me know- write comments on here, or send me an email at kyle@sipofknowledge.com

Thanks, Cheers!

Drinkers and Thinkers

Last night was the first of a series of classes I'm going to teach at Foam, located on the corner of Jefferson and Cherokee. The management has dubbed this series as "drinkers and thinkers", which I really like. Truth be told, this was the most laid back, fun "Basics of wine" class that I have ever done. 8 people attended, and we all sat around in comfortable chairs, just chatting about wine, and trying some new stuff. The cost was only $12 for 6 wines, and it took just a shade over 2 hours.
If you want to try wine in an atmosphere that is truly pretension-free, come check it out! We will continue the series next month (date TBA) with a class on "Old World vs. New World" wines. I hope you all can make it!

Today's wine recommendation- Since it's warming up a bit, go try the Napa Station Sauvignon Blanc from California. I like this because it doesn't taste like the over-acidified stuff from New Zealand. It is a bit rounder, has subtle citrus notes, and a green apple thing going that is really refreshing. It should cost around $11 retail.

Until next time, Cheers!!
