For every virtual Wine Chat, I select a different grape. You’re encouraged to open a bottle of that wine to enjoy while we chat. We'll talk about how that grape is grown, the winemaking process, and what makes that wine distinctive and enjoyable - having fun all along the way! You’ll leave with a better appreciation of the wine, and some handy knowledge without getting too technical. I leave plenty of time for discussion about the wine we are drinking and any general wine questions you may have. Each Wine Chat lasts about thirty minutes. Wine Chats are a simplified version of my Virtual Guided Wine Tastings. If you like my Wine Chats, you will love my Virtual Guided Wine Tastings! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dddc9ebdca85a1b7529191b/1589740812409-0LBNZBGXNXIY0Z2OA9PB/screen+share+1.png Wine Chat - How do I join the Wine Chat? There are two ways to participate in my virtual Wine Chats. 1) Select “Contact Me” below, fill out the form, and I will send you the Zoom link. 2) Go to my Facebook page “Ralph Kridner, Guided Wine Tastings” and checkout my events page.
