Ray Isle, Wine Editor forFood & Winemagazine, and Jonathan Pullis, Master Sommelier and Manager/Wine Director at7908in Aspen, take us through a "very, very serious" topic: pairing potato chips & wine. If you've ever gotten nervous about pairing foods with wines, worry not. Wine is very adaptable, as this demonstration will show you.

In this tasting, Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey takes us on an exploration of the great dry riesling of Germany and Austria; don’t be fooled by the German bottle - these wines are dry and exciting!

In this tasting demonstration, Ariel Arce ofcaviAIRdemystifies champagne and sheds light on the caviar industry, giving you the tools & insights to buy the best possible product at a price point that is comfortable for you.

Bobby Stuckey wants people to know that blind tasting is more than a party trick. Blind tasting is a great building block for consumers to discover wines without preconceptions. This demonstration will show you how to add this skill to your wine tasting toolkit (and we still think recreating this course would make a great activity with wine-loving friends!)

From Spanish Cava del Paraje Calificado to traditional method German Sekt, these world-class sparkling wines will take you on a delicious journey of sparkling wines beyond Champagne. In this demonstration, Shayn is joined by Alicia Towns Franken of Archer Roose andWine Unify, an organization dedicated to fostering wine education for underrepresented minority groups, and amplifying the voices of the people of color who are already thriving within the wine industry.
