NEW Seasons Wine Pairing
Join us for three exciting evenings tasting wines! Our first session will focus on Cabernet Sauvignon. With such a widely grown grape, tasting notes can vary across the world. Gaining the reputation as the most planted grape. California Cabernets can be fruity, while French Cabernets have notes of blackberries and tobacco. This red pairs perfectly with hard aged cheeses. Our second session will focus on Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir is a light red and one of the most popular red wines out there. It can be light or medium body with low tannins making it very enjoyable even for newcomers. Most commonly known for hints of berries, it pairs deliciously with smoked salmon & goat cheese. The final session will focus on Syrah/Shiraz. Syrah and Shiraz are the same grape, they just come from different countries. Syrah is typically associated with France and is known to be tart and less complex than its Australian counterpart Shiraz. This is juicy with notes of blackberry and plum. With medium tannin and acidity this full-bodied wine is bold but not spicy. Pairs well with spicier food and creamy cheeses. Please note: There is a $25 supply fee per session due on the evening of class payable via cash or check to CNCPT6. This class is located off campus at CNCPT6, 103 Market Street, Lowell, MA 01852 (2 hours) $139.00
