Jake's Wine Classes: Introduction to wine tasting with the great wines of the world
Learn to taste wine like a pro with the 2006 “Best Young Sommelier in America” Jake Kosseff. The best way to learn how to taste is to taste the best wines: in this class Jake will guide you through tasting 8 delicious, classic wines while helping you to both understand what you’re tasting and develop a vocabulary to explain it. When you’re done, in addition to trying these great wines, you’ll be better able to describe what you do and don’t like, and be able to show off your new vocabulary to your friends. This is a slightly less serious version of the classes that Jake has used to train the staffs at notable Seattle restaurants such as Crush, Cascadia and Campagne. The Class includes hors d’oeuvres prepared by Cellar46 Chef Nalani Dias and generous tastes of eight wines.
Wines tasted will include:
• 2005 Francois Mikulski Meursault
• 1995 Château Clerc Milon Pauillac Grand Cru Classé (WS 95)
• 2005 Lagier-Meredith Syrah Mount Veeder (RP 95)
• 2004 Tinto Pesquera Ribera de Duero Riserva (RP 94)

Jake's Wine Classes: Making Sense of Burgundy
For Chardonnay and Pinot Noir lovers, Burgundy is hallowed ground. At their best, wines from Burgundy are both hedonistic and thought-provoking, perfectly balancing deep flavors with minerality, acidity and oak. But Burgundy is also incredibly confusing, stretched over three political departments, with more than 100 separate AOC’s (appellations) and nearly as many styles of wine. The wines range in quality from glorious to horrific, and the prices of the wines range from nearly reasonable to stunningly expensive. To really enjoy these wines, one must first understand the region. In this overview class, you will learn to navigate the labels and the region, while drinking some of the most delicious wines. I will also make recommendations for finding some of the hidden bargains in Burgundy. We will taste wines from Macon, Cote Chalonnaise, Chablis, Cote de Nuits, and Cote de Beaune, including at least two Grand Crus.
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
