SUMMARY:Winter 2026 Sip-by-Sip Series: The "Core Four" Essential Reds (4 workshops beginning 1/29\, then 2/12\, 2/26\, and 3/12)
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays 7:30 – 8:30pm EDT (optional chat rooms following the workshop) on the following dates:\nJan. 29 | Feb. 12 | Feb. 26 | Mar. 12  \nWhere do the flavors in wine come from? When someone says that a wine tastes like raspberry\, or has hints of clove\, of thyme\, or of … pencil shavings (yes)\, why is that? We’ll begin the series with an Introduction to Wine Tasting workshop\, in which you’ll learn about the flavors of wine and the structural components professionals analyze in order to judge a wine’s quality. \nFrom there\, during the course of the series you will get to know four of the most essential red-wine grapes used for a large portion of red wines worldwide: Pinot Noir\, Cabernet Sauvignon\, Merlot\, and Syrah/Shiraz. (Why start with these? Three of these grapes represent more than 70 percent of all quality wines worldwide — please see the paragraph after the course description if you’d like to learn more!) \nFor each of these four varietals\, we’ll take a look at their characteristic flavors\, regions most famous for them\, and general wine-food pairing suggestions. \nAfter each workshop\, you’ll have the opportunity to talk about the wine you selected\, and your impressions of it\, in optional sip-and-chat rooms — this is a perfect way to stay in touch with friends and family who live far away\, to stay in touch with new parents who have their hands full at home\, or to meet other wine enthusiasts from anywhere. (This is optional; you’ll be sent a chat room preference form to indicate who you’d like to converse with\, and it’s also perfectly fine to select “opt-out” and exit the meeting once the workshop ends.) \nThe aim of the Sip-by-Sip series is to help you to get more familiar with wine tasting and to provide you with a general overview of wine types and wine regions\, so that you will begin to become more comfortable navigating your local wine shop or wine menus at restaurants. \nFor people instead seeking a more in-depth\, detailed look at wine\, the Winter 2026 Special Series\, A Focus on France (registration open until January 10)\, is recommended instead! \nRegistration for this Winter 2026 Sip-by-Sip Series\, The “Core Four” Essential Reds will stay open until Friday\, January 23. \n  \nWhy start with these “Core Four\,” as we refer to them in Tango Wine Club?  … because wine certification programs worldwide begin with these four as foundational for understanding red wine: \n“Students most frequently ask what will help them most in learning about wine\,” says Kevin Zraly\, one of the most famous wine educators in the U.S.\, whose wine school in the former World Trade Center in NYC graduated over 80\,000 students across three decades.  “The answer is to understand the major grape varieties and where they grow in the world … start with the three major grapes you need to know to understand red wine: Pinot Noir\, Merlot\, and Cabernet Sauvignon. These grapes represent more than 70 percent of all quality wines worldwide.” \nSimilarly\, the esteemed Wine & Sprit Education Trust (WSET) of England\, the gold standard for wine certification worldwide\, begins with four varietals as foundational for embarking on the study of red wine: Pinot Noir\, Cabernet Sauvignon\, Merlot\, and Syrah/Shiraz.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Wine Tasting | Passion & Patience: Pinot Noir
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our inaugural event\, a free friends & family (and friends of friends!) test run of our system:\nIntroduction to Wine Tasting | Passion & Patience: Pinot Noir\nFriday\, December 5 @ 7:30pm EDT\nSo that you have time to receive the shopping list and to register for breakout rooms\, please note that workshop registration closes at 11:59pm on Sunday\, Nov. 30. \nWhat features should we analyze when tasting a wine? How do we describe how it tastes? In this inaugural Tango Wine Club workshop\, we’ll explore in depth the five primary components of wine tasting\, and you’ll apply these wine analysis skills in real time during a guided tasting of Pinot Noir (optional\, and shopping guidelines will be emailed to you once you have registered). \nNext\, we’ll journey to some of the best regions known for Pinot Noir. You’ll discover how this sensitive varietal reflects its growing conditions\, and how these factors\, plus the skill of the winemaker\, create the elegance and finesse that Pinot Noir is known for. \nWe’ll finish with a general discussion of food pairing suggestions before heading into optional breakout rooms. A Google form\, to indicate your breakout room preference (1- opt out\, 2 – anyone\, or 3 – specify which friends of yours who have also already registered) will be emailed to you after you register. Please submit your breakout room preference by Monday\, Dec.1. \nAll are welcome and no prior wine knowledge is required!  \nAfter the workshop\, as a thank-you all attendees will be emailed a 20% discount for a future à la carte workshop and a 20% discount on the Spring 2026 Membership Series.
