Wine 101
For a drink made solely by fermenting grape juice, wine is incredibly complicated.
Overview
A glass of wine can have 27 different acids, 23 kinds of alcohol, 16 types of sugar, 80 esters and aldehydes and a crapload of minerals and vitamins. What does that mean? For a drink made solely by fermenting grape juice, wine is incredibly complicated.
Many of us don't know a $400 bottle of jammy oaked Red from a cocktail of goony nail polish. Looking at a menu with 400 options can be quite embarrassing sometimes. The Keystone Group wants to help us out. They've launched a new 'wine school' headed by award-winning sommelier Sarah Limacher. The classes held at The Winery teach the basics of wine tasting, wine matching and how to order a wine that you'll like.
Sarah says the classes are unpretentious and ultimately she just wants everyone to have a good time. The $25 classes come with ten wine tastings and food, so that’s highly likely. School's on at 6.30pm on the last Tuesday of the month.
