January 27, 7 - 8:30pm	World of Wine: Wine and Chocolate Pairing Chocolate and wine pairings are more versatile than one might think.  In this class, we’ll explore how the various flavors play together in unexpected ways.
February 24, 7 - 8:30pm	Production Seminar: White Wines Learn about the overall production process, from the work in the vineyard to the crush to fermentation to maturation. We’ll review strategies a winemaker can use to craft the style of wine she wants as well as discuss key grape varietals.
March 23, 7-8:30pm	Production Seminar: Red Wines In addition to the full production process, we’ll discuss aging techniques, such as oak usage and vessels, as well as the use of varietals, from single-varietal to blends.  The complexities in creating quality red wines are endless!
April 20, 7 - 8:30pm	Production Seminar: Rose and Orange Wines Nope, these wines are not made from oranges (or roses, for that matter).  Learn about these “sisters in between” whites and reds, how they’re produced and their similarities/differences from classic white and reds.
May 18, 7- 8:30pm	Production Seminar: Sparkling Wines In the final seminar, we’ll take a close look at sparkling wines.  Bubbly has a fascinating history and sets the stage for the festive drink we sip today.  We’ll review different techniques for creating sparkling wines, the best grapes for the job and debunk common myths.
June 21, 7-8:30pm	World of Wine: Future of NY Winemaking Panel Join winemakers from across the state for a lively discussion about the past, present and future of New York wines. NY producers have been garnering accolades in recent years for their bottlings; how did they get their start what’s next for these wineries?
July 19, 7-9:30m	World of Wine: Women Winemakers Panel What’s it like to be a woman working in such a dynamic industry? How are these female powerhouses shaping the state of wine?  Join us for an interactive conversation with some of New York’s women winemakers.
