Kevin Zraly Offers Wine Course at Millbrook Winery



This is an amazing opportunity to meet Kevin Zraly, the best wine educator in the industry today. And it is important to note that he is appearing in the Hudson Valley, where so much is really happening in food, wine, and agriculture.

WINE EDUCATION SERIES WITH KEVIN ZRALY
Called "the Hudson Valley's flagship winery" by The New York Times and "a great place to visit" by The Wall Street Journal, Millbrook Vineyards & Winery is conveniently located in the magnificent Hudson River Valley just 1.5 hours from both New York City and Albany. It is glorious to visit any time of year.



Kevin Zraly, the founder and teacher of the immensely popular Windows on the World Wine School, and author of the Windows on the World Complete Wine Course, will bring an abridged version of his 8-part "Windows on the World Wine School" to Millbrook Winery this summer! Seating is limited so reserve now.

Saturday, June 13 from 5:00 - 7:30 p.m.
Session 1: Understanding Pinot Noir
Kevin will discuss and taste through Pinot Noir wines from around the world. Includes wine and cheese reception.

Saturday, July 11 from 5:00 - 7:30 p.m.
Session 2: Understanding Cabernet Franc
Kevin will discuss and taste through Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc wines from around the world. Includes wine and cheese reception.

Session 3: The Art of Red Wine Blending & Dinner
Discover your inner winemaker with this unique opportunity to create your own wine blend. After mastering the use of pipettes and graduated cylinders, your final cuvee will be bottled and corked in a 375 ml bottle complete with your own custom wine label. A 3-course dinner featuring Millbrook wines will floow the blending portion of this event.
