Want to LearnAboutWine?

I met these kids at the LA Supports LA benefit (see prior post). They were part of the HUGE benefit so I had no clue to how they'd be on their own.
As you can see by their website, they're all about wine tasting events. Public, private, whatever, they'll do it. Different themes, types of wine, whatever you can think of, they do it. We went to a Bordeaux tasting over at the Maple Drive Restaurant in Beverly Hills. (Mental note, need to check out the restaurant sometime; the appetizers were excellent.) The staff was friendly, the vendors were knowledgable and, as promised, they busted out the Chateau Y'Quem.
Would I recommend this? Yup.
Would I do this again? Sure.
Do I have anything negative to say? Eh, not exactly. But, in my opinion, you're not really *learning* about wine, at least not at my event. The vendors told you why their wine was better than the other vendors' wine, but that was about it. If you were expecting a Bordeaux education, this isn't the place for it. If you want to try a bunch of different Bordeaux wines to figure out what you like, this is a great place.
I think I would do a Napa, Sonoma or Italian wine course with these kids next. If you're interested, let me know. I'll meet you there!
