Crash Course Wine Seminars are in full swing this season to get you prepped for all the holiday occasions! Whether you’re a celebrated wino or new to wine altogether, we have a slew of courses coming up designed to turn you and your friends into total wine badasses.

As usual, our goal is to empower you..., the drinker, with more knowledge about wine by way of expert education and tasty sips. We are working with the top names in wine that Boston has to offer to bring and fun, informative and most importantly, completely unpretentious wine class.

For most people, sake is nothing more than a shot best dropped into beer, but this Japanese rice wine is steeped in history and tradition. Don’t miss our exclusive sake tasting with specialist Michael Simkin. Under Michael’s expert guidance, we will sample 5 sakes with some Japanese snacks and learn all about the history of sake, how it’s made and what all the different levels represent. This animated sake genius has visited or brewed at most sake houses in Japan, and now he’s here in Boston to share his knowledge and favorite sakes with us. A hardcore devotee, Michael’s love of the Japanese culture extends from his sake fascination to his wife who he met in Japan (sweet love story!)

Bostonians are known for making great use of small spaces, one doesn’t need to look any further than a cramped studio in the Back Bay to learn that. But few people think of a wine region as famed as Bordeaux to be just a tiny area in France, being utilized to maximum wine production capacity. Nestled on the Garonne river, this region makes some of the most stellar wine in the world, and the guys at Downtown will take you on a virtual tasting tour of the area. No passport required!
