Uncorked: What Your Wine Label Is Actually Trying to Tell You

Friday September 11 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

A guided tasting for curious drinkers who are done nodding confidently at wine labels they absolutely cannot read.

You walk into a wine shop feeling great. Then the labels hit you. “Grüner Veltliner.” “Premier Cru.” A drawing of a château that may or may not be haunted. Suddenly you’re just a person holding a bottle, hoping your face doesn’t betray you.

So you do what any reasonable adult does: you squint thoughtfully, mutter something like “interesting”, and grab the one with the cute dog on it.

There’s a better way.

Join Beverage Education Manager Jen Menges of New York Kitchen for a fun, zero-pretension deep dive into what wine labels actually mean. You’ll taste your way through a curated flight of five wines, and by the time you’re done, those labels won’t feel like a foreign language anymore, they’ll feel like a cheat sheet you’ve had all along.

What you’ll get:

  • Flight of 5 curated wines
  • Nosh box by Chef Pamela Cecere
  • All the knowledge

You’ll leave with the confidence to walk into any wine shop, any restaurant, any dinner party, and actually know what you’re talking about. Or at the very least, know what is in the bottle that has the cute dog on it and why it’s actually pretty good!

CANCELLATION POLICY:

  • Class ticket purchases are non-refundable, and cannot be transferred to a different class for any reason. This is because New York Kitchen is a nonprofit organization that wants to ensure our educators are properly compensated for their time and plans for classes based on the number of participants registered. If you’d like to offer your seat in that class to a friend or family member, we’d be happy to welcome them. Patrons should use the original purchaser’s name upon arrival at check-in.
  • No-Show Policy: New York Kitchen will not refund for no‐shows if a guest books a class reservation and attendees do not show.
  • New York Kitchen reserves the right to cancel any class that fails to attract sufficient enrollment, or due to educator illness or inclement weather. We will contact you by phone or email and issue a full refund, or you may request to be transferred to another class of your choice (depending on availability and value).
  • We appreciate your support of our non-profit organization.
