CUL 302 World of Wines

Introduction to the world of wines explores the different wine producing grapes and wine regions around the world in terms of growing conditions, and the skill of winemakers to produce wines which reflect the character and style of these world class regional wines. This will be accomplished with an in-depth study and discussion of the key wine grape regions in the world, including historical and geographical backgrounds, pertinent grape varietals and manufacturing processes. Each week will include a wine tasting and evaluation to support the premises. Sensory perception will also be utilized to gain a pragmatic approach to food and wine matching.
