I've been a fan of D'Vine in Chandler for some time now and I had the pleasure of attending their Wine 101 class recently.
The class was presented by David Newton, D'Vine's Sommelier. The topics discussed during class included: serving wine, different regions and the best regions for certain grapes, and a little history of wine. David has a great passion for wine and is an engaging speaker, so it made for a great afternoon. The wines chosen for the class were excellent, and offered something for every palate. This particular class was not designed specifically for tasting, although there will be a class devoted to how to taste wine in the future, this was about wine in general, which I found to be a great place to start.
There will be a different class each month through March on a variety of topics and are being held at both Mesa and Chandler locations.
This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in wine and meeting people with the same interest. Can't wait for the next class!
