Wine Lingo by Stephanie Earthman Baird, Certified Wine Educator/Adv. Sommelier | Owner, Journey Into Wine
Sharpen your wine senses through a blind tasting coupled with a Wine Lingo game (think Bingo!). As a group, we will discuss aroma characteristics that arise from sipping and swirling wines. Through two games of Wine Lingo, guests will monitor their game cards in hopes that the wines descriptors, grape(s) and/or region are on their lingo card. Prizes awarded to those lucky enough to have the right words align in a row. A fun way to learn about wines from four different 'corners' of the world.
