    Throughly enjoyed the class. Was informative whilst still being informal and fun experience. Would recommend to anyone trying to step more into the world of wine.
  • The instructor was actually a sommelier so he had a wealth of information and explained it to where we could understand and enjoy it. I learned so much and would like to go to another class. It was a great experience and it gave me a good basic knowledge of what I was tasting and what I like and what I would buy or order and it was fun. I would love it if next time we could have some cheese with it as well. Worth going to and would recommend it
  • Our instructor was informative, fun and it was such a great class. So much information to learn and he did a great job. We also enjoyed the packets to take home. Wine choices were delicious and so were the pairings.

    Great intermediate level course - and an excellent selection of wines for tasting!
  • This was an excellent introduction to wine tasting and food pairing! Andy was so knowledgeable, but more importantly, he was an engaging lecturer and an accessible teacher. He really made it feel like wine is an accessible hobby to all and that it doesn't have to be pretentious or out of reach. He was funny and I really did learn so much. The classroom was elegant and had a nice atmosphere. We tasted 6 wines and were welcomed with a glass of prosecco to sip on as he talked. There were very small snacks to demonstrate the food pairing and we had the chance to ask questions downstairs in the store afterwords. Astor Wines was my favorite wine/liquor store before this class, but I have new respect for their educational capabilities. Highly recommend!
