Union Square | Master Blind Tasting: Red Wines with Laura Maniec

13 E. 13th Street, New York, NY 10003

Join Laura Maniec, for a Blind Tasting Workshop! This class is a great way to learn to assess wine, preparing for exams for CMS-A, WSET, Institute of Masters of Wine, or to become more confident in understanding and identifying the components of wine, and describing those elements. We will hone your deductive tasting skills and teach you how to tell the difference between classic grape varietals, regions, winemaking, quality, and age based on three elements of wine: sight, nose, and palate.

This ticket is for the second of two classes, focused on red wines.

Testable for MS/MW/CMS/WSET students, we will explore winemaking and impact aromas in 2 flights of 4 wines: 

1) Red wines with varying degrees and types of oak-aging; unoaked, American oak, French oak, and used oak 

2) Red wines that have the following; pyrazines, rotundone, thiols, and terpenes

Join us at the bar for a glass of wine and dinner the day of class and receive 10% off your check.

Live wine classes are led by Corkbuzz Sommeliers and last 90 minutes. Class includes 6 (2 ounce) pours of wine, printed materials, and complimentary cheese. Guests will be seated at communal tables. Please refrain from wearing heavy fragrances to class.
