Wine And ASL

0.2 CEUs, GS

"Wine has long been a part of life, culture, and diet. The number of vineyards in the United States has skyrocketed in recent history. More and more people are becoming interested in viticulture and wine making. Wine bars and wine tasting has become a chic experience. Whether you are interested yourself or if there is a possibility that you will find yourself interpreting at a winemaking tour or a tasting event, come and learn about the basic styles of wine, how wine is properly stored, and the process for assessing the quality of wine. There will be activities related to signing discourses. The instructor has a Level Three Award from The Wine and Spirit Education Trust, a well respected regulatory authority of the United Kingdom."
