LLFW 580 - Along the Coast of Spain

Spain is surrounded by water on all four sides and each has unique, indigenous grape varieties that thrive in specific climatic conditions influenced by the sea. We will travel, with glass in hand, from Galicia to Txakolina to Cataluna to Jerez where we will learn about the wine history, the terroir, and the indigenous grape varieties. You will experience sparkling, white, red, and dry sherry as well as their methods of production in this fascinating class. Students will order dinner from the Cafe Madrid menu to pair with the wines for a completely authentic Spanish food and wine experience (this is in addition to tuition and fees).
