Wine Class: How to Speak Wine

Speak Wine: Order Like a Pro

Ever wish you knew exactly what to ask for when shopping for wine? This class is your cheat sheet. We'll decode the words you'll actually hear in a wine shop—from acid and mineral to full-bodied, tannic, and earthy—and, more importantly, taste what those terms are actually like in your glass.

Through guided tastings, you'll build a vocabulary that helps you describe what you love (and what you don't), making it easier to discover new favorites without relying on grape names or wine regions. Whether you're looking for something "light and juicy," "rich but not oaky," or "fresh with bright acidity," you'll learn how to communicate your preferences with confidence.

Whether you're shopping at VinoTeca or traveling abroad, you'll never have to settle for "I'll just take the red" again. Just your favorite wine, every time.

Each tasting comes with a curated meat and cheese cups from Toasts by Rachel and a flight of 6 wines.
