Prepare your palate for a real treat. With Abby Nash, our master wine instructor and former faculty member at Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, we’ll explore the wines of a dozen countries and learn how their quality is affected by climate, terrain, and winemaking techniques. We’ll discuss wine trends and health issues, match wine and food during lunches at local restaurants, and learn how to serve and store wine, order it in restaurants, and start a wine cellar. 

Novices are welcome, and even aficionados can expect some surprises. As a special feature, we’ll spend a day exploring Finger Lakes wine country, as Abby leads us on a tour of his favorite wineries in this world-class wine region.
