Tasting Videos

Twelve classes of Discovering the World of Wine are accompanied by unique and engaging tasting classes captured as videos. Although you may be tempted to start watching right away, we encourage you to do two things before you watch each video.

First, read the text of the associated class. That will familiarize you with terms and concepts that you'll hear mentioned during the tasting class.

Second, consider shopping for some or all of the wines that are sampled in the tasting class. They are listed below the video window on each of the tasting class pages. Each of the wines is rewarding in itself and a carefully chosen illustration of important points about the region or type of wine.

• Chardonnay (Class 4)
• Riesling (Class 5)
• Sauvignon Blanc (Class 6)
• Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio (Class 7)
