Alas, the course I took actually took place at Windows on The World, the restaurant on top of the World Trade Center in New York. The man who ran their wine program and class for many years now manages the wines for the Smith and Wollensky chain. There are some good sources online and one of the best wine classes is offered by Andrea Immer who has programs on wine on a cable channel, Fine Living. This is no wine snob class but a good solid introduction to identifying wines, the techniques of tasting, and what I think makes the big difference, understanding the flavors of wine. How in the hell can one describe a Sauv Bl as cat pee (the best selling SB in the world by now) or sweat sox (Janics Robinson on a certain French wine). Well, flavors gathered from the vineyard and soil, terroir, are expressed in the grape. (no cat peed on the SB, it is a specific identifier that I prefer to describe as boxwood) I think Beringer probably has good instructions on how to have a flavor identification tasting. MP
