As a true Kentucky girl who was raised on the bourbon trail, I could tell you blindfolded whether I was drinking Bulleit, Knob Creek, or Four Roses. However, when my boyfriend (now husband) surprised me with a birthday trip to Napa, I was completely out of my comfort zone. I got a little too tipsy, signed up for a wine club, and started a receiving shipments of nice bottles that I knew nothing about. Sadly enough, I stored all our wine bottles in our garage and by the time we celebrated a special occasion, all our wine was damaged from the summer heat.
Long story short, I'm taking this class because I'm ashamed about my lack of knowledge on wine -- how to drink it, how to savor it, and how to understand it. I've seen how wine can bring people together, bridge cultural boundaries and spark friendships. I want to be a part of this community, and I want to be able to tell you blindfolded whether I were drinking a Cab, Merlot, Malbec, or a Pinot Noir!
