DESCRIPTION
Red wine with meat and white wine with fish? A standard rule for food and wine pairing. Or is it? In this course you will learn there is much more to food and wine pairing than this simple clich . With a combination of lectures and tastings, students will learn about international grapes varieties, regions and winemaking techniques used to achieve certain styles of wine and their perfect food pairings. The course also includes Field Studies. Each class will focus on a specific wine style and grape varietal and review the relevant wine regions across the globe. The students will develop their tasting skills and food pairing withregular tastings in class accompanied by matching food examples. Our tastings will focus on Old World VS New World to emphasis the difference of terroir, wine styles and AOC restrictions between Europe and the rest of the world. Students will also learn about the basics of winemaking techniques, labels and the AOC system.
