COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course covers the basics of wine, taste and sensory evaluation of wine, and the most prominent wine regions in the world. Strategies for wine storage/cellaring, serving, and proper glassware will also be studied. This class will also study the history of wine and introduce the major grape varieties. Wine descriptors and terminology will be learned and enhanced as the class progresses. Wine tasting/evaluation assignments will be given for students 21 and over. Students taking the class on-line will be given a list of reasonably priced wines (grape varieties) to purchase so they can conduct the sensory/tasting analysis from home. Students under the age of 21 will be given alternate assignments rather than wine tasting.
