Sip like a Somm: Blind Wine + Sippin’ Healthy!

We’re back with our friends at Minneapolis’s premier boutique hotel, The Hewing, for ‘Sippin’ Healthy’ Round 2 (ring the bell, please)!

So Dry January is done.  What did you learn?  That you can go 30 days without your favorite adult bevis?  Great job!  In the end, you could have come to wine class with us in January to learn a few simple tips when it came to: how to pick the best wines for your health, your waistline, your heart + your budget instead of giving up your favorite glass of grape juice for 30 days.  (That’s okay, we’re over it😉)

Well, we’re not done yet + we have lots more to share for those looking to tune up their wine life!  We’re back for round two — this time, loaded with new tips about how to read those wine labels, questions for keeping in your back pocket when headed to a restaurant or a retail store if you truly are interested in learning how to sip healthier wines, and how to get the best bang for your buck in every region with every grape.  

AND…we’re tasting BLIND!

Let’s start with our host 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Meet: Amusée, Sip Better + Cépage owner, Leslee Miller.  Leslee’s taught this exact subject from coast to coast from university programs to large corporate groups — teaching folks that by learning a few things about a wine label and asking the right questions about wine, that you can not only lead your palate but your health in the right direction in the way of ditching wine headaches and soaking up fewer calories, while supporting only small, family owned farming families + their wines.  

If you have never BLIND TASTED — you are in for a treat!

This class is NOT what you think. This is not a dungeons + dragons course in WINE.  Blind tasting actually helps you understand your palate better as you are only focused on the elements of the wine: the wine’s weight, aromas, acid and fruit profiles, length and best of all, pairings!

This class is actually AMAZING for those that continually say: I know I like _____ wine, but I don’t know why!

Leslee teaches you the full blind tasting fundamentals in a very open, engaging + simple way making the class super interactive, and FUN.  Along the way, she’ll chat to those ‘sippin’ healthy’ tips making you ONE WINE NINJA for drinking healthy, while figuring out what actually makes your palate tick!  (And yes, the wines are blind, we don’t put blindfolds on you 😊)

With the purchase of this class!  Not only do you learn the ins + outs to drinking healthy, but we’re gifting you, your very own hard cover Amusée notebook, perfect for tucking away all these amazing tips + your new favorite wines.  Also great for pulling out the next time you get together with friends to do your own blind wine tasting.
