Focused Tasting with Doug Schulman and Kirk Grant


Doug Schulman DipWSET CWE will be co-presenting this focused tasting with Kirk Grant, former Wine Director of Havana in Bar Harbor, Maine.  Kirk brings a wealth of knowledge, and a highly intuitive, style-focused tasting expertise that complements Doug's more deductive, logic-based style.  Each presenter will bring wines from his personal collection.  Since that means there will be some potentially memorable wines, please feel free to bring 3-4 of your preferred wine glasses if you would like.  Commonwealth Wine School has plenty of ISO-type tasting glasses, so you don't need to bring your own, but some people find more nuance with a wider bowl.

Look for enrollment e-mail. $30 for members. $40 for non members. For more info at this point contact Jo-Ann Ross (jrosswine@gmail.com)
