Details:

Palate Partners presents a regular series of Wine Classes which have been developed to meet the ever changing and diverse needs of their patrons. Some are single classes, while others are presented in a series. They cover a wide variety of subjects, ranging from serious to fun, some geared toward more educated palates, and some designed to help wine 'newbies' discover the finer aspects of wine appreciation and enjoyment. All help to de-mystify wine and its unique terminology. The Wine Classes will be taught by Mike Gonze, President of Dreadnought Wines, who offers over twenty years of wine teaching experience and is a member of the Society of Wine Educators, and Deb Mortillaro, who brings her Culinary Institute of America training to the table for pairing wines with the complexities of food. Some classes may feature a guest wine expert.

Last season, Palate Partners had a small event at the store for the press. They gave them a mini-tour of the upcoming class season. Press reps moved around the room, experiencing one or two aspects of each of the upcoming classes. From Wine 101 to Wine For Turkeys, they stopped, sipped, and learned what the classes offered are all about. They were amazed at all that the classes involved once they stopped to smell the bouquet!

A few weeks later, Palate Partners did it for the public and wine lovers were able to discover what they did or did not know about wines and pairings before committing to take a class.

On Monday, January 11th, from 5:30 - 7:30 PM, they are inviting potential wine students to come and do the same thing!

For $5 admission, they will have demonstrations set up around the store, and explain what all of the different classes are about.

As an added bonus - if someone registers for a class that night - they will apply the $5 tour admission to the class chosen.
