Learn More About Wine While Having Fun
Learn More About Wine…
We just announced the list and dates of the wine education seminars Sean and I will be teaching next year, with Miguel’s help when he’s back.
Whether it’s for yourself or as a gift, what better location to gain more wine knowledge than at a winery? Especially one like Rosenblum where you know you’ll have fun…
Each seminar will be an intimate gathering designed to introduce you to specific aspects of wine, in an entertaining and informative manner. Wines, instructional materials, and, in some cases, food will be provided. All classes held at the Alameda Winery from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
