Blanchards Kicks Off $10 Wine Classes

Looking for an affordable way to taste and learn more about wine?  Blanchards Wine & Spirits is offering a series of wine classes at their West Roxbury, MA location starting tonight.  Led by Steve Grant (who has a high batting average when it comes to giving me wine recommendations I really like) I think these classes will be a great value at $10 including wine and cheese:

• Learn how to taste, evaluate and appreciate wine.
• Gain greater insight into how wineries and vineyards are managed.
• Discover the unique qualities of terrain, climate and culture that combine to create the great variety of wines in the world.

Of course we will taste and enjoy some of the best wines from each area and sample cheeses from Boston Cheese Cellar's selection to see how the wines interact with food.

Here's the schedule:

Class 1: California (North: Mendocino, Sonoma and Napa)
Wednesday March 24th 2010 7:00p - 8:30p

Class 2: California (Central &South)
Wednesday April 7th, 2010 7:00p - 8:30p

Class 3: Oregon and Washington
