Cooking & Wine Classes

Thursday, July 12th

Discovering Californina

Everyone knows California wine, right? You’ve got Sonoma, Napa, Santa something, some others, and wherever they filmed “Sideways.” If those are your thoughts exactly, don’t feel bad, you’re not alone. California is quite complex – it’s practically its own country when it comes to wine production. California constitutes about 90% of US wine production and if it were a country, would be the 4th leading wine producer behind France, Italy, and Spain. With over 2,800 wineries and 4,600 grape growers, California has more than tripled its wine production in the past 20 years. They’ve proved their worth time and again and are certainly deserving of closer inspection. With their all too reliable sunshine and rainless summers, they craft wines that display purity of fruit, seamless tannins, soft mid-palates, and simply put, gobs of flavor. This class will help familiarize you with the “deeper tracks” of Cali wines and reacclimatize you to the more famous counties of Sonoma and Napa while you taste wines from the respective regions.
