New Year, New Pour: Wine Diamonds and Other Mysteries 1/9/2027

Make 2027 the year you get curious! Wine is full of surprises, and this class is your chance to uncover a few of them. Why do tiny, harmless crystals, known as “wine diamonds,” sometimes appear in the bottle? How can a wine smell like blackberries, vanilla, or black pepper when none of those were ever added? Why does one person swoon over a wine that makes another wince? And how can a single grape variety produce wines that taste nothing alike? Join Heather McKechney, The Intoxicating Professor, for a fun, flavorful tour through wine’s greatest mysteries. As we sip our way through a lineup of delicious wines, you’ll discover how chemistry, geography, biology, and even your own brain shape what ends up in your glass. We’ll explore the science behind aromas, flavors, fermentation, and perception, and you’ll leave with knowledge that makes every sip more rewarding. Come thirsty for answers and you won’t be disappointed! Cheers to a year of curiosity! Know someone who’d love this? Give the gift of New York Kitchen classes.
