ABOUT THIS EVENT
Event Category
Food & Drink
Event Overview
Come learn about wine (and more importantly, drink it) in a no-pressure, no-snobs-allowed environment. Hosted by Kevin, a Certified Specialist of Wine with years of industry experience.
Same tasting methodology used by top wineries, sommeliers, and wine educators; includes flavor wheel, tasting note guide, etc - and you can take it home!
Know Your ABC's:
ABC = Anything But Chardonnay. In the world of white wine, most people just reach for a bottle of the classic: a full-bodied Chardonnay. But it's not for everyone, and there are so many more beautiful whites out there! This class will explore the amazing variety of lesser-known whites, such as crisp Spanish Albarino, aromatic Austrialian Viognier, and rich white Bordeaux. You'll never feel intimidated by the wine list again!
The host will guide you, but your participation is encouraged! Please reach out with any questions.
NOTE: this is a series of beginner-friendly wine classes offered by Kevin. The classes can be taken in any order, and no previous wine knowledge is required.

Thanks for checking out my profile! I'm a Chicago native, and worked for a California-based winery/importer for over 6 years until leaving to pursue a master's degree at University of Chicago in 2015.
During my time at the winery, I became fascinated by the viticulture and the winemaking process, and opted to study to be a Certified Specialist of Wine in 2010. I'm an equal-opportunity wine drinker - from spicy Lodi Zinfandel to flinty Sancerre, I love it all.
My beautiful fiancee, Jenny, and I live in Wicker Park now, although we met in California at a winemaking club. We love cooking, making handcrafted soap, hosting Airbnb travelers, and of course, drinking wine!
Cheers,
Kevin

This was fantastic class for anyone interested in learning more about wine. Kevin created a "No snobs" environment where any question was welcome. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable about wine production and tasting and he teaches each class in a fun and engaging way. I would highly recommend taking any of the classes Kevin offers!

Kevin is one of the coolest instructors you could ask for a class like this. Highly recommended!
