UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Lake County Wine Studio is presenting an interactive exploration of Lake County varietals, appellations and wine making styles co-hosted by Shannon Michele. 

The series aims to help participants advance their sensory evaluation and wine tasting skills with specially selected varietals, flights and verticals paired with "snackatizers" to compliment the wine tasting experience.

The first session in the series beginning April 24 will focus on Sauvignon Blancs with a comparison from the Big Valley AVA, and an AVA vertical tasting of Red Hills, High Valley and Guenoc.

Dates and featured wines to follow are: June 25 (White and Rosé Rhone wines); Aug. 21 (Pinot Noir, Grenache and Sangiovese); Oct. 23 (Rhone Red Wines).

Seating is limited. For reservations and additional information, contact Susan Feiler at 707-293-8752.
