Wine class has begun. I was SO excited for this class because I freaking LOVE wine. I enjoy a good glass of wine several nights a week usually. I am always on the look out for good wine at a good price. Heck, I have even taken an wine appreciation class or two in the past and had a BLAST doing it.
This class......not so much.
First, the class is taught by a guy who looks like Doc Brown from Back to the Future. It is hard to take someone seriously when you are waiting for them to break out with a conversation about flux capacitors.
Secondly, the guy spends forever and a day telling us all what we don't know. Except, I know a lot of the stuff he is talking about. So it really kind of grates and makes me feel like he is an arrogant jerk.
Thirdly, TOTAL name dropper and wine snob. He has detailed the winery owners that he knows and likes to discuss how 99% of the "important" wine in the world comes from just France and Napa. The school requires we discuss all the wine regions and do tastings from them, but they are really second class wines, donchaknow.
Yesterday was better than the first couple of days, and I hold out hope that once we move on to actually tasting wine and discussing the various wine regions the class will get more interesting. In the meantime, it feels like I have been in this class for an eternity, but it is only the first week. So, I will be in the corner playing Suduko, someone tap me if the chef says anything interesting.
