Chamber Cheers Virtual Happy Hour & Wine 101
Wine 101 – Exploring the tools of the trade and popular wine types
If you like wine, sometimes you just “phone it in”. You grab the same wine glass, your corkscrew, and usually wine that you’ve had before or similar to a type you always drink. We are going to review different items that might be added to your collection soon, as well as a quick overview of some of the standard wine types.
Presenter: Karen Koch, WSET2

My first introduction to wine, besides a really bad choice of sampling some Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill, came during five years at The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Starting as a bartender and advancing to the Beverage Controller, I was tasked with learning about wine and food pairing. Back then it was a job, today it is a passion.
My advice to wine drinkers…Try wine! Try reds, try whites, try roses’! Don’t always stick with what you like or know – be adventurous and try different types of wine. Who knows, you might find a new favorite!
My favorite thing is discovering new wines and sharing wine with friends.
