Description

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND:CRIMSON COOLA B O U TWe’re big on the notion of ‘drinking with the seasons’ whereby big-boned reds belong squarely in the bone-chilling evenings of Winter and crisp and quaffable citrusy whites in the Summer months. But then again, sometimes you just want a red-! What to do when you don’t want to sweat and drink? While there’s truly no such thing as a ‘summer weight Cabernet Sauvignon (you do you however) there is a whole slew of often-overlooked wines/varietals that are PERFECT for the dog-days of a proper wine-drinking summer. These wines can not only take a chill (think an ice bucket for 15 minutes prior to opening) but lack the heavy tannins and heavy oak that can deaden the palate and drink a bit too ambitiously for warm weather. What’s best, they tend to be fun, not very expensive, and kinda perfect for anything you’re cooking up on the grill. In this seminar we explore the world of COOL CRIMSON – Red Wines for the summer months! We explore: Discuss the charecteristics of an ideal "warm weather red"Explore the varietals that tend to make chill-friendly redsDiscuss the different styles of red wines that are ideal for summerAll attendees receive 10% off all wines at J's Bottle Shop starting with the first bottle purchased on day of event. Some restrictions apply. Q&A: RESIDENCY 2023 - Spring /SummerAre Normal School of Wine seminars back? Yes, and no. We are continuing a limited-engagement pop-up at J's Bottle Shop for the Spring/Summer 2023 Season. We have a potential for Fall/Winter Encore (including our most popular Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Champagne seminars in November and December). We move out of Athens after December 2023 so this will, truly, the last lap around the track! Do I need to sign up for all of them? Sure! But you don't have to- each one is a self-contained individual wine-tasting seminar with a specific theme. Can one do an 'exclusive' or private seminar or class? Can it be custom? Ish! But, we're open to it! We can craft/accomodate *most* theme-ed tastings (i.e. "Wines of Greece," "Port" or "Holiday Wines". Organizer (you) are in charge of purchasing the wines (special/deep discount) and a $300 tasting fee (invoiced by NSW). Availibility is limited. 18 person maximum. If I have a NSW Gift Certificate of Existing/Active Discount Code, can I still use it? Sure! If you can't apply it, and it is active, send us an email at [email protected] and we will see what we can do. Can I bring a non-paying person with me who will not drink? We don't encourage it- seating is very limited in what is a small-ish room and we rather leave the most comfortable spots for our paying and wine tasting guests. Can I bring my own wine glasses? Sure! Bear in mind we pour 2oz per wine and it may look different dependign on wine glass size and bowl shape. No complainin'
