PCC non-credit class takes mystery out of wine shopping
Photos and story by James Hill
BEAVERTON, Ore. – Do the bottles upon bottles of wine on store shelves leave you stumped? Wine labels come in vibrant colors and tout specialty vineyards from around the world, but they say little about the actual quality of the wine inside. A new non-credit class offered by Portland Community College will take the mystery out of wine shopping. Learning to Learn About Wine will give you a common-sense approach to becoming a well-informed wine shopper. Learn from Ponzi Vineyard experts just how to conduct a tasting, choose wines, viti- and viniculture basics, and how to locate wine resources on the Internet. The class will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. for two Thursdays, Jan. 20 and Jan. 27, at Ponzi Vineyards, 14665 S.W. Winery Lane. Cost is $19 plus a $5 fee. For more information, contact PCC Community Education at 503-533-2708.
