Doug Schulman DipWSET CWE will be co-presenting this focused tasting with Kirk Grant, former Wine Director of Havana in Bar Harbor, Maine.  Kirk brings a wealth of knowledge, and a highly intuitive, style-focused tasting expertise that complements Doug's more deductive, logic-based style.  Each presenter will bring wines from his personal collection.  Since that means there will be some potentially memorable wines, please feel free to bring 3-4 of your preferred wine glasses if you would like.  Commonwealth Wine School has plenty of ISO-type tasting glasses, so you don't need to bring your own, but some people find more nuance with a wider bowl.

Look for enrollment e-mail. $30 for members. $40 for non members. For more info at this point contact Jo-Ann Ross (jrosswine@gmail.com)

John Szabo, Master Sommelier, describes the wines from volcanic soils as having “salt, grit, and power”, but how do volcanoes form? What are volcanic soil types and how can that impact a wine’s flavor?

In order to dive deeper into these questions, we will go volcano and wine exploring. We will visit the sun-kissed island of Santorini, Greece. We will climb up the trails of Mount Etna. Of course, we will “meet” some of these brave vignerons farming in the shadow of “still active” volcanos. We will discover the ancient volcanic areas of Fiano, Greco, Taburno and Taurasi in Campania. And the grand finale - 2 Volcanic Soil Red Wines from right here in California, USA.

Join instructor Jo-Ann Ross, as we uncover the mystery, and beauty, or wines grown in these formidable locations.

This will be held at Eastern Standard at 775 Beacon St.
