Asheville School of Wine Class

Join us on Wednesday, March 8th from 5-6pm, @MetroWines for "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Wine But Were Afraid to Ask," presented by Andy Hale, Director of The Asheville School of Wine.

Andy says: "Be afraid no longer! Learn the basics of wine so that you will feel confident in all wine situations. Why do wines need to “breathe?” How long should I age my wines? Where do people come up with these crazy flavor descriptions? When I order wine in a restaurant, what do I do with the cork that the Sommelier presents to me? Learn all of these and more in this practical class with wine tastings."

5 wines explored. $25 for the seated tasting.
