Wine 101 with Campagnolo & Woblet

As the
city readies itself for prime patio weather, Woblet’s preparing for what goes best
with lazy afternoons and breezy outdoor dinners: drinking wine. Enter
Campagnolo Restaurant + Bar, home of judgment-free oenophiles ready and willing
to talk Wine 101 with anyone who will listen. Charles Shaw enthusiasts and
those who only know three types of wine- red, white, and pink- are welcome, but
Robert Parker devotees will fit right in.



 



The
series kicks off with the basics, “How to Drink Wine,” on Monday, April 21st
at 6:30pm. Kevin
O'Sullivan of Prime Wines & Spirits will lead the class. For
this first of the series, he will focus on basic wines including Pinot Noir,
Cabernet, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling. Small bites from Campagnolo’s food menu will also be provided, in
conjunction with a section on pairing food and wine. Tickets are $30 and can be
purchased at www.woblettickets.com/wine.
