Wine Tasting 101-w/ Greg Giorgio 10/6 7:30-9:00pm
Interested in learning more about wine?
There are millions of wine drinkers who consume wine almost daily but are intimidated when it comesto describing what they are tasting in their glass. This wine tasting anxiety comes from a cultural black
hole generated from Prohibition days and hanging on today due to a lack of education. The producers,
distributors and retailers are primarily concerned with sales and have left consumer education about
wine to sources of information that leave much to be be desired.
Media stereotypes and irresponsible wine publications have helped perpetuate myths and allowed
snobbery to be the assumed approach to wine knowledge. This has been a great impediment to the
development of a permanent wine cullture necessary for our society to move beyond fads, overpricing,
poor wine lists in restaurants and fear imposed on those curious enough to often ask the right
questions.
