Wine Class – Essence of Wine (Belleville)

Angie and Chris have always been fascinated with the descriptions used by professional wine tasters – “hints of chocolate and raspberry” or “beautiful herbaceous overtones of fresh cut grass” – yeah, right. But recently, they have been working to understand these flavors and scents, also known as essences, more thoroughly. When they take in the aromas of a Pinot Noir alone, they enjoy what they experience but could not put their finger on what they smelled. But when they have a glass of fresh cherries to compare it to, the cherry aromas jump right out of the Pinot.

This is the inspiration for our essence of wine class. We are going to pair some of their favorite wines with some conventional and non conventional fruits, herbs and other scents to help us describe the wines more effectively. Our hope is that we all leave the class with the confidence to describe wine more effectively and understand write ups from the pro tasters. Please join us to explore the “essence of wine”. Space is limited. Event will take place from 6 p.m. – 8pm in the Country Store. $20.00/Person. Reservations are required; please call (618) 233-0513 to reserve your spot today!
