Rick Kushman, co-author of “A Moveable Thirst” will feature his seminar “Why Wine is More Fun Than People Make it Seem” on Saturday, May 12, 2012 1:30-3pm at Lava Cap Winery in Placerville.

During the class, Kushman, wine and food writer and educator (you have seen his writing in the latest Sactown Magazine), will cover how to get more out of a wine country experience and out of drinking wine. He’ll give tips on tasting–which attendees can put to use on sight with Lava Cap wines. Other topics in the class include success for grape growing and winemaking, and why any of that matters to you. He’ll also decode some of the more annoying wine speak and offer pointers on how not to be a wine snob, even accidentally.
