The popular three-part wine education serie will be taught by Certified Wine Educator Tracy Cervellone from Wilson Daniels.

The first segment of wine education in Orange County will be an Italian wine region square-off.
We will compare Tuscan wines against wines from the Piemonte region, and how Sangiovese measures against Nebbiolo.
The second class on August 11th will explore Prosecco – when and how to pair Italian bubbly and what sparkling wine really means.A prosecco flight comparing taste against price will accompany the lesson.
