Wine Tasting: White Hot Summer

It is hot out there, and while many do love a full-bodied red wine with dinner, these these warm days are all about refreshing whites, rosé or lighter reds that can be served slightly chilled. In this Curious Palate White Hot Summer Wines tasting class, we’ll explore white (and perhaps a little rosé ) wines that are great for hot summer days.

When the weather heats up we are likely to be eating lighter foods, cold dishes and salads. In a wine, descriptions like “refreshing” and “crisp” and “light” seem to come in as a whisper on the summer breeze.  Translation: prowl for wines with higher acids, lighter bodied, lower alcohol and simple.  There are certain grape varieties and wine regions that are better associate with summer days...let’s play, shall we?

The Curious Palate is a tasting class that is designed to explore the world of wine, beer and spirits; connect to history; and learn your palate in an intimate atmosphere.  The Curious Palate has two gatherings per month; both from 5:30 to 7:00pm.  On the 2nd Wednesday of each month, we feature a class on Spirits or Brews; on the 4th Wednesday we feature a class on Wine. 

Space is limited and reservations are required. Exchange: $25.00 per person per tasting and includes the beverage tasting, paired lite bites, and engaging education.  To reserve space at any of the Curious Palate Tasting Club events go to http://tinyurl.com/Curious-Palate-2013
