EDWARD SELLERS Four-Part Winter “EDucation SERIES”

Well, the Holidays have come and gone and New Years Eve was a big blur, so now what? We at Edward Sellers have come up with our first “EDucation SERIES" to keep you busy during the up coming cold winter afternoons (let’s face it, how much time can you spend in the gym anyway?). There will be four classes in the series including Wine Tasting 101, Wine & Cheese Pairings, Beyond Oakiness (no, we don’t make you taste the actual barrel) and a Wine Sensory Analysis called Wine Tasting 201. Space is limited, so please sign-up soon!

Cellar Club Member: $35.00/class
Non-Cellar Club Member: $50.00/class



January 12th - Wine Tasting 101, Our Tasting Room, 1220 Park Street, Paso Robles, CA. 4 - 6 PM.
Learn the fundamentals of wine tasting from Amy who spits out more great wine on a Monday morning than you'll drink all week. What’s the deal with swirling? Does glass shape really matter? How can a liquid be described as “dry?” Why does wine smell like flowers or fruits? What does a tannin taste like? Answer these questions and more, and leave your fear of spitting at home. To join us, please call Kendall at 805-239-8915, or email Kendall Carson.

January 19th - Wine & Cheese Pairings, Our Tasting Room, 1220 Park Street, Paso Robles, CA. 4 - 6 PM.
John Di Raimondo, our cheesemonger from Di Raimondo’s Cheese Shop, knows more about cheese than anyone else we know. This evening he will share his knowledge with you and choose a few distinctive cheeses to pair with our wines. John and Amy will discuss why certain cheeses pair well with certain wines, and we will all enjoy sampling the wares. To join us, please call Kendall at 805-239-8915, or email Kendall Carson.

February 2nd - Beyond Oakiness, Our Tasting Room, 1220 Park Street, Paso Robles, CA. 4 - 6 PM.
In this program we will explore the many roles of oak barrels in winemaking. If you have ever wondered whether it’s really possible to tell the difference between French and American Oak, this seminar will leave you debating the merits of both and alienating your friends with discussions of various toasting profiles and their impacts on varietal character. To join us, please call Kendall at 805-239-8915, or email Kendall Carson.

February 16th - Wine Tasting 201, Our Tasting Room, 1220 Park Street, Paso Robles, CA. 4 - 6 PM.
Blackberry... or blueberry? Bell pepper or fresh cut grass? Come to this advanced wine tasting seminar to learn how to pick up sensory clues in the glass. We will smell a series of “spiked” wines, training our noses to identify certain aromas as they present themselves in wine, then we’ll taste flights of white and red wines using our new skills. To join us, please call Kendall at 805-239-8915, or email Kendall Carson.
