Palate Partners/Dreadnought Wines Present Winter Classes for the closet Sommelier in everyone!
Palate Partners presents a regular series of Wine Classes which have been developed to meet the ever changing and diverse needs of their patrons. Some are single classes, while others are presented in a series. They cover a wide variety of subjects, ranging from serious to fun, some geared toward more educated palates, and some designed to help wine ‘newbies’ discover the finer aspects of wine appreciation and enjoyment. All help to de-mystify wine and its unique terminology. The Wine Classes will be taught by Mike Gonze, President of Dreadnought Wines, who offers over twenty years of wine teaching experience and is a member of the Society of Wine Educators, and Deb Mortillaro, who brings her Culinary Institute of America training to the table for pairing wines with the complexities of food. Some classes may feature a guest wine expert.
SEATING IS LIMITED FOR ALL CLASSES, SO PRE-PAID RSVP IS REQUIRED! While Palate Partners have become very popular with their wine 'tasting' series, these are CLASSES and not casual tastings.
All classes are conducted in the Palate Partners retail store at 2013 Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh's historic Strip District unless otherwise noted. For additional information and to make reservations call 412.391.8502, or visit their website at www.dreadnoughtwines.com
