Last Saturday, three girls took a wine tasting class in Chelsea. I'm.....underwhelmed. I paid $90 to learn what I already knew....that I like sweet wine. What I didn't know (betcha didn't either) is that sweeter wine has a higher alcohol content and that tannin in full body reds is why people often pair red wine w/ red meat....to cut the fat. The fat's the best part. and I want none of it "cut".
Anyway, In the 10 wines I tasted, I liked the malbec variety and riesling the best...another surprise.....since they're both on the sweeter side of their color family.
The riesling we tasted was especially delicious.

Verdict. I wouldn't recommend the class by NY Wine Company. Now I'm dying to buy some books on tasting/pairing wines and visit a vineyard and take some better classes. Wannacomeweeme?
