One of the most important parts of wine education is learning how to talk the talk. As with all languages, you must learn the vocabulary. Wine is no different. A recent Huffington Post article had us thinking about wine buzz words such as oak, sulfites, reserve, meritage and terrior. Are you familiar with these words?
Sometimes, the groups we take to the wine country include guests that are not as sophisticated in wine as others may be. To ensure all of our guests are on the same page, we do some basic wine education to kick off the trip. Wine can be intimidating and understanding the jargon is half the battle. Whether you are at a business dinner in Atlanta or a corporate event in Napa, understanding some of the basics of wine can help clear up any confusion. Did someone in your group request a full-bodied wine? Are you looking for a blend or a varietal? Don’t worry – we can help.
Grapes on the Vine Events offers wine education classes for groups. Interested in learning more? We’re here to help.
