The more you know about wine the more you will enjoy it. In one short session your experience will be enhanced by learning three basic things: 1. Why a wide range of wine styles taste like they do 2. How to judge the quality of a wine 3. How the Australian system of regional classification and labelling suggests quality and value. You will then be more confident in choosing a wine for any occasion and be able to explain why you like a particular wine. As well, you will enjoy the cheerful no nonsense approach of the tutor.
