Zero to Sixty : How Colorado's Wines Became World-Class in Less Than a Decade, with presenter Tynan Szvetecz, Executive Wine Sommelier and Senior Wine Instructor.

Why should you care about Colorado Wine Country? Because for the first time in history, Colorado is making world-class, hand-crafted wines.

Learn how Colorado's unique micro-climates are making it possible for artisan wine makers to create well balanced, nuanced and food-friendly wines. Yes, there's even a striking Terroir that imparts qualities to these wines you can't find anywhere else.

Walk through a technical tasting of six local wines wines and learn to distinguish tastes by region of origin. Bread and cheese will be served with the class. Fee includes wine, food, handouts and tuition.

Class Content:
History of wine making in Colorado;
Climate - how this affects the state's wines; Basic label reading; Overview of the area's wine regions; Red wine grapes and styles; White wine grapes and styles; Regional wine and food - classic pairings.

By Tynan Szvetecz's own admission, he is a wine nerd. He is an Executive Wine Sommelier and Senior Wine Instructor certified through the International Wine Guild, one of the few state-accredited wine schools in the United States; and a Candidate for Master Sommelier, "which is a fancy way of saying I passed a five wine double-blind tasting."
