Wine Tastings and Class Schedule
(after a 2 1/2 week bicycle tour of the vineyards in Alsace, France, where we visited 14 stellar producers, tasted hundreds of wines, and gained an in-depth knowledge of Alsace's past and present, the Webster's staff is back and ready for our next round of summer tastings...)
Summer Sparkling and Rosé.
Wednesday, 21 July. 7:30pm. $35.
Join us for our most popular event of the summer, as we taste through a host of sparkling wines from around the world (outside of Champagne) pitch-perfect for backyard parties and casual summer drinking - Spanish Cava, Italian Prosecco, French Cremant, Southern Hemisphere bubbly, and more - alongside a set of dry, still rosés which we love to quaff in the hot months. (Hosted on our outdoor patio, weather permitting.)
Spanish Whites.
Wednesday, 28 July. 7:30pm. $35.
Over centuries, the Spaniards have learned to counter the Iberian peninsula's exhausting heat with crisp white wines which slake the thirst of both body and soul. Join us as we taste and discuss the world of Spanish white wines, from the coastal Albariño to the inland Viura-based wines of Rioja to the tangy Verdejos of Rueda. (Featured by the glass in August.)
Wine 102 : Tasting the fundamental structures of wine.
Tuesday, 3 August. 7:30pm. $40.
After a hiatus from our educational wine seminars, we're back with our Wine 101 series. Our first gathering will focus on the structural elements of wine: tannins, acidity, finish, sweetness, etc. Many consumers of our beloved beverage have learned the descriptive aromas of a great wine ("Oh the raspberries, the barnyard."), however have never honed in on the structure. This is one of THE major keys to deciphering wines and is indispensable when forecasting a wines' capacity to age.
We will be assessing a handful of wines and analyze their structures intimately through a guided tasting. Call for reservations - Space is very limited.
Wine 103 : The crafting of wine - from winery to bottle.
Tuesday, 17 August. 7:30pm. $40.
Why does a wine taste oaky, crisp, fruity, sweet, earthy, big, bold, or tannic? Many say great wine is made in the vineyard, however without human intervention grapes would shrivel up and fall off the vine. Our Wine 103 seminar will be extremely interesting to those curious HOW wine is made - and for those who attended the Wine 102 class. Winemakers throughout the world make their decisions on how to rear their wines due to their structural components as grapes and later grape juice (aka must).
Come and find out the many twists and turns the grape takes from the winery to your glass. An educational tasting will spotlight a comprehensive selection of diverse wines. Call for reservations - Space is very limited.
