Wine Tasting Class
Ferment the Frontal Lobe
Here at Miami New Times, our knowledge of wine is limited to vintages that come in a box. We spent a good portion of our college years extracting that internal silver sac and dispensing it over our shoulder at house parties, a game affectionately known as “slap the bag.” Thankfully, veteran sommelier Jean-Pierre Sollin, leader of this Thursday’s Wine Tasting Class at Alliance Française of Miami, knows considerably more — the difference between Lafite-Rothschild and Mouton-Rothschild, the deal with Beaujolais Nouveau, and why it’s important to tip your nose into the glass.
If you want to know how to seduce college chicks with a bottle of Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill, call us. Those who want to learn all about French wine — which we hear is kind of a big deal — should get a spot in Sollin’s 7 p.m. class. It costs only $30, whereas we’ll tell you everything we know for free (it won’t take long).
