You’ll explore the main types and styles of wine through sight, smell, and taste, while also gaining the basic skills to describe wines accurately and make food and wine pairings. Upon successful completion, you will receive a WSET certificate and lapel pin.

WSET Level 2 Award in Wines:
This qualification is intended for beginners wishing to learn about a wide range of wines or those seeking to build on the introductory knowledge gained with the WSET Level 1 Award in Wines. You’ll gain knowledge of the principal and regionally important grape varieties of the world, the regions in which they are grown, and the styles of wine they produce. Through a combination of tasting and theory, you’ll explore the factors that impact style and quality and learn how to describe these wines with confidence.

Pleased to welcome a new Virginia wine brand to the shelves! Julie Linker's first releases of Delve wines are a real joy to drink! The roussanne is crisp and fresh, with just a hint of silkiness in the texture, and the cabernet franc is modeled after a Loire Valley bistro wine, with tart red raspberry and green peppery spice. Snag a bottle or two!

Continuing with our exploration of England, we present our League of Thieves pick for Feb: Simpsons WIne Estate 'Chalklands'

The word around the industry is that southeast England is the next region to discover for very excellent sparkling wines. Just a stone’s throw from Champagne, Kent and Sussex share the exact same chalky soils extending under the English Channel and the same grape varieties flourish here. Reports are showing a change in climate towards warmth and sun, and investments by Taittinger, Pommery and Freixenet have already begun. Who will be next? Have you tried English sparkling wine??

Two new reds in from our friends at Native Selections for The Great Bone Chilling:

DOMAINE GUION BOURGUEIL CUVEE DEUX MONTS:
A layered and complex cabernet franc made with clean natural winemaking. Lovely deep bass notes of wet earth are punctuated by tangy cherry and raspberry fruit and smoked bell pepper.

FABIEN JOUVES GRAPE INVADERS:
A wonderfully energetic take on medium bodied southwest France malbec, blended with grenache in this case which softens the texture and adds light baking spice notes.
