Wine the Strategic Way at the BCAE

Maybe you know a little bit about wine.

As in, you know you like it, you know there's a lot to know, and you know you want to know more.

It's just that it's all so overwhelming, you have no real idea where to start, and you hate looking stupid.

What to do? What to DO??

Here's what:

Sign up for the class that starts this Thursday at the Boston Center for Adult Education.

And here's why:

It's designed for people with no previous knowledge and a limited understanding of wine. (Which means stupid questions are welcome.)

It's broken down into five sessions, three hours each. (That's not so overwhelming, is it?)

And the instructor tells you exactly where to start. (How to taste wine, how to read labels, how to select wine, and which grapes and regions to definitely know.)

Rumor is that you take this course and you start actually feeling confident about choosing and drinking wine. Just imagine.

Better decide quick though. First class is this Thursday, and those 40 samples of wine you'd be tasting only go so far.


WHERE: Boston Center for Adult Education, 122 Arlington Street, Boston
WHEN: Five Thursday nights beginning January 21, from 6 to 9 p.m.
