Riesling Expert III Virtual Tasting Class
Our most popular virtual program returns: Riesling Expert III. Whether you participated in a previous course or are joining for the first time, Riesling Expert III will expand your horizons and enhance your knowledge of the Finger Lakes’ signature grape. This virtual tasting series is suitable for beginners and serious enthusiasts… please note it will be more academic than our other virtual programs. Full-color notes for each session are included with the wine 6-pack.
Participants who register for the course and join the tastings on Facebook Live will earn a “Silver Thread Riesling Expert” award. The award will be distinct from those issued in previous courses.
