Wine Class: Fortified Series - Vermouth & Cocktails

  • The Wine Whisperer 11535 West Broad Street Henrico, VA, 23233 United States (map)

We bet you didn't know how cool and complex the world of dessert and fortified wines could be! Come to the Whisperer and learn about what all goes into a glass of your favorite after dinner sipper. This series will help you show off your knowledge of sherry at a fancy restaurant, port over a friendly fire pit, or at the bar while you discuss some of the best known aromatized wines that you find on cocktail lists around town!

Remember the ancient bottle of Martini & Rossi that was tucked way back in the back of your parents' bar? It probably only made a rare appearance when your dad, in true dad fashion, pulled it out and gently rubbed the bottle against his martini glass to indicate that's about as close as vermouth would ever get to his perfectly chilled gin martini. No disrespect to Pops, but vermouth absolutely has a seat at the table and should never be stored in a bar! Join Amber in the Whisper Room to sample through the Vermouths that are worth talking about, learn about how this fantastic wine is made, and also why bartenders have always kept it in the bar fridge. In addition to sampling several vermouths, we'll also talk cocktail basics, and you'll walk away with some of Amber's tricks of the trade. A must attend class for any budding bartender or cocktail aficionado.  

Three sessions available: Tuesday, February 27 at 7 pm; Saturday, March 2 at 3 pm; Friday, April 5 at 12 pm. 

$50 per person. Purchase online or in store.
