Black Stallion Estate Winery has recently launched “All About Wine,” an interactive wine tasting experience that provides basic wine education in a casual, fun environment. The “All About Wine” experience includes six Black Stallion Estate Wines in three comparative tastings. Throughout the hour, participants will explore and identify the aromas, subtle taste differences based upon growing regions plus hands-on swirling and decanting activities. Black Stallion Estate’s Wine Educator, Josh Weed, guides the tasting. His interest in food and wine began when his Bachelor’s Degree in Global Studies took him to Europe and South America. Following his passion for learning, Weed earned an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts and continues his wine education as he studies for the sommelier certification. “All About Wine” is a great experience for newcomers and those who want to learn a little bit more about wine. Please call the winery at 707-227-3255 to schedule your appointment. Sessions are held on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 11:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. There is a $30 fee per person. Sav e the Dat e!
