Blind Wine Tasting - a class
Where: In Good Taste Cooking School
Date: 2008-04-03 19:00:00
Type:
Tasting a wine without knowing what it is forces you to think as you savor, to deconstruct each sip and focus on why a particular wine tastes a particular way. It unlocks the mystery of wine and unveils the clues that reveal its variety, where it was grown, and how it was made. You’ll taste six wines, three whites and three reds, each an excellent example of its variety, and spend time learning to decode each one like the pros. Light nibbles will be served along with the wines. You'll also receive a Super Tasting Techniques handout that lists the components to look for when you taste and defines common "wine speak" terms to help you understand just what the reviewers are saying.
The Kills

The Kills consist of VV and Hotel. These two have been making music since 2002 and doing a lot of home recordings where they live in the UK. With a serious knack for doing great raw recordings, narcotic and saccharine - the drums alone will pull you in. The strong female presence evokes comparison to Chrissie Hynde and Patti Smith, while the male vocals charm those that know the sounds of Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground.
