Today Might Be The Day

Check out Ron Sober's latest wine article for annarbor.com.

We couldn't agree more that today just might be the day you've been saving that special wine for. Because, you know, it is Monday.

September Wine Classes

In conjunction with our friends at the Ann Arbor Art Center, we're pleased to offer two classes coming in September.

Exploring The Loire Valley - Thursday, September 17 - 6:30-8:30 pm

People know the wines of Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the Rhone but often overlook the Loire Valley. Come explore the Loire appellations, taste wines (beyond Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc), and discover new French wines from this underappreciated region.


Wine & Cheese Pairing Class
- Thursday, September 24 - 6:30-8:30 pm

In this class, we'll provide a road map for matching various cheese types with wines. We'll introduce cheese basics, including milk types, textures and flavors, and then we'll guide you through choosing wines that complement each cheese type. And, of course, you'll sample
cheese and wine pairings, discovering matches that suit your own personal tastes.

Both classes will be held at the Ann Arbor Art Center and taught by wine yoda and all around dude, Ron Sober. The cost is $30 per class.

Register online at www.annarborartcenter.org (click on Workshops to find the classes) or call the Art Center at 994-8004, ext 101.

Words on Wine

As annarbor.com works to fill the void left by the Ann Arbor News, they've made the very wise decision to enlist the talents of Ron Sober to blog about wine for them.

Along with being a nationally recognized wine judge and a wine educator (if you've taken any of Everyday Wines' classes, then you know Ron), he's also generously donated his time for many of the fund raising events EDW has held in support of local nonprofits.

As if that weren't enough, he's also been an incredibly valuable member of the Everyday Wines tasting posse since, well, even before Day One.

But above and beyond all that street cred and cool dudidity (yes, we made that up, but it fits), Ron is a great friend.

Now go read what he has to say. Go.
