Wine Classes

If you don't know a lot about wine, and you're really eager to learn . . . a wine class may be in order. I spoke with a co-worker the other day who told me he's been to a few different classes in New York, and that they can actually be a lot of fun. From what I can tell (in NYC anyway) most of the different wine schools and/or teachers offer a variety of classes, beginning with a single evening wine 101 type of thing and progressing to more detailed explorations of specific varieties or regions.

One of the nicer classes I came across during my web research is simply called The New York Wine class. The owner of the school started off as a vintner in California, and started teaching when they came to New York. Classes offered include Wine 101 (which fills up quickly), Napa Vs. Bordeaux and Exotic Wines and Cheeses to Remember - amongst many others. If you're looking for a good place to start learning here in New York, I'd recommend it.
