Wine Tasting Workshop at Sweetwater

Sewickley, PA ... Sweetwater is teaming up with the Naked Grape to offer this exciting new wine tasting class for Ages 21 & up. On Sunday, April  10, 2011 from 6:30-9:30 p.m. We'll explore the contrast between the growing number of Pennsylvania wineries and the more established California wine industry. We'll taste white wines from Pennsylvania, made from hybrid as well as traditional European varieties, and red wines from California, made from the classis Vitis Vinifera grapes. The emphasis will be on small, family-owned wineries producing limited amounts of exceptional wines. Materials fee is included in the tuition. This class is $50 for Sweetwater members and $65 for non-members.
Philip Real can be found regularly behind the wine bar at the Naked Grape bistro in Sewickley. He writes the Crush column for Table magazine. He ran Prelude Wine Bar at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Hotel, taught Wine Studies at the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, and managed San Fransisco wine shops.

To register for classes, call 412-741-4405.  Check out www.SweetwaterArtCenter.org for a complete listing of classes and workshops.
