Both classes will be in the Louise Parker Berry Community Room of the Darien Library.

During part one at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24, Troilo will guide you through the techniques used by professional wine merchants to evaluate and judge wine. You’ll learn how to examine the color, how to describe the aromas of the wine and how wine affects various areas of the palate. Most of all you’ll learn how to enjoy wine. Participants are asked to bring two stemmed, clear wine glasses to the class. There will be both class work and homework. 

During part two at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, Troilo will lead a tasting of various grape varietals and winemaking styles. He’ll identify the flavor components in the wines and discuss how those flavors match with various foods. He will discuss both Old World and New World styles. Participants are asked to bring two stemmed wine glasses to the class. 

To register for one or both of these classes, call Mallory Arents at 203-669-5254.
