Item Description

A unique gift for any wine lover, our Wine Enthusiast package includes 2 tickets to The Elements of Wine class in Manhattan with wine expert and President of Astor Wines/Astor Center, Andrew Fisher. You and a guest will learn the basics of wine tasting and food pairing in this hands-on, plain-language tasting class. As you taste through a flight of incredible wines, Andy will draw on his 40 years of experience to help you understand them. By the end of this tasting, you will know what to look for in any wine, why certain wines work well with certain foods, and how to make any wine taste better by serving it correctly. 

The wines have been carefully chosen to illustrate the six most important taste features of wine, and the best way to learn is through a guided tasting. This rule applies to food pairing as well, so Andy will also show you how different foods can change your perceptions of the wines (and vice versa). You’ll leave with a solid understanding of the simple, straightforward principles of tasting wine and pairing wine with food.

This wine class comes with a bottle of 2010 GlenLyon Estate "Squire's Toast" Cab & Syrah blend and a bottle of the 2010 Estate GlenLyon Syrah.
