Fun course alert! Stomping Grapes - No, you won't get to actually stomp grapes, like in an episode of I Love Lucy, but in this interactive, hands-on wine experience, you will craft your own wine blend! Using simple lab equipment and up to a handful of red grape varieties typical of Bordeaux blends, this class aims to provide first-hand knowledge of how different grape varieties work together. Groups of two to four students will work together to craft their blend, so bring a friend! After crafting each wine, everyone will have a chance to taste each blend and discuss the tasting profiles. Taught by wine educator Sarah Wolcott, who believes the wines you find most delicious are the wines you should drink.
Wednesday, Oct. 26, 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the beautiful Cascades Culinary Institute; $109 http://ow.ly/CWV550LaLCn
