Watching Sideways a few years ago may have given you a good few laughs but we doubt it turned you into a wine aficionado. Thankfully, American Bartenders School can fill the void!
Grab this $29 pulse and you will quickly learn how to judge a wine's color, flavor, aroma and body. Taking delights a step further, you will learn tasting terms such as tannins, dryness, acidity and varietals, as well as get tips on which wine to choose with different foods. You will also learn how to read wine labels and select wine tools and glassware.
Ahhh, cheers to the freakin' weekend....
Understanding the basics of wine types, selections, storage and tasting is often a mystery to most of us. This interesting and easy to understand class is designed to answer basic questions and add new dimensions to your wine experience.
During the class, you will also get valuable tips on how to buy and store wine, and how to demystify a restaurant wine list. This is the perfect introductory class for beginners and novices who want to learn the basics.

"Took a two hour intro to wine class at this school, and I have to say, it really was very interesting. We got a primer all about wine from A to Z from the moderator, then we tasted a 2010 Montepulciano D' Abruzzo and a 2007 Trebbiano. The book that they give you to take home as a reference guide was worth the 29 bucks alone. Very well done. Kudos!"
"Loved this little class. I'm taking some Tuscan cooking classes at Art Institute and thought that this wine class would go along great with my pet project. There was no tasting (bummer), but I was given a pretty great intro to wine and I didn't expect it to be quite as informative as it was. Thanks David for your wine/meal pairing suggestions!"
