He primarily teaches Public Speaking, but also taught the Intro to Wine class at Shasta College between 2008-2011. His love for wine grew from years of serving in the restaurant industry, which sparked a mission to visit every wine region in California and Oregon in search of knowledge and wine. In the early ‘90’s, Kelly worked at a tasting room in Temecula CA, which sparked his passion for educating others about the benefits of adding a healthy wine habit to their lives.Course Agenda6:00 First pour: enjoy, acclimate to class, look over resources6:10 Instruction: Welcome and Introductions, How to taste and describe what you see, smell, taste, Color wheel, Flavor wheel, Tasting sheets, Acidity, Body, Alcohol, Tannins, Sweet/dry, Finish, The Q: Do you like it and does it make you happy?6:25 Second pour: evaluate, discuss, label, reveal6:35 Instruction: Ava’s, terroir, climate, elevation, zones, micro zones6:45 Third pour: evaluate, discuss, label, reveal6:55 Instruction: Wine labels, front and back, laws, traditions, legends and lore7:05 Fourth pour: evaluate, discuss, label, reveal7:15 Instruction: Types of tastings, storage, serving temps, opening, decanting7:25 Fifth pour: evaluate, discuss, label, reveal7:35 Instruction: Varietals around the world and in your glass7:45 Sixth pour: evaluate, discuss, label, reveal7:55 Recap and Wrap up!Here's What Participant's Say About The Class!"It was a great, fun class! A perfect way to spend an evening & learn so much. Lots of information & entertainment. I usually like a dry red wine, but will venture out of my comfort zone now. Thank you so much!""Kelly, to quote (almost anyways) Fleetwood Mac "You make learning fun". Thanks so much for your engaging instruction. I am a home winemaker with a micro vineyard and appreciated your humor and witty approach to learning how to appreciate the subtleties of wine. Thanks again for everything.""What a great presentation on wine! Just in our short class I learned quite a bit about the type of wine I like and why. The class was very engaging and entertaining. I would definitely be interested in taking this workshop again.""I had an absolute blast at the class! It was so much fun to learn about the aspects that go into tasting wine as we taste them. I also loved being exposed to other varietals that were a little on the more uncommon (at least for me) side. I would come to every class you hosted if I could! Thanks again for your passion and your time.""I thank you for your presentation on wine appreciation and fundamentals of wine knowledge. My friend and I truly came away feeling that we both are more prepared to enjoy wine tasting, both at home and at our local establishments. In addition, your skills of presentation and methods of connecting with your audience are beyond compare.""I thought the class was a real treat. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your sense of humor really lightens the experience. Thanks for doing this!""I enjoyed the class. It was fun and had a good pace of information. The table talks were nice to get to know everyone, as I came by myself. At times, my table was quite talkative, so it was hard to hear you! It showed that wine is really personal to each one's tastes""We had a wonderful time. I am actually not a wine drinker at all, and I was there mostly to be with my husband and friends, but I loved it. I thought the instructor had a lovely manner and was knowledgeable. I enjoyed him very much.""I attended the event and was so favorably impressed with the presenter and the organizational details of the event. It was very informative regarding wine tasting and evaluation, and the varieties of wine that we sampled were excellent. The presenter was so enjoyable to listen to, having a great sense of humor.""I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the Wine Workshop on January 30th. Lots of information & very entertaining. A perfect way to spend an evening & learn about something I love!! Thank you so much!" https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/5ded4ab0-4140-11f0-a9f6-793b640d4a42-rimg-w739-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/redding/the-art-of-wine-tasting-a-fundraiser-for-shasta-youth-leadership-camp/100001384424564139 - **Event Categories**: workshops, nonprofit, wine-tasting, food-drinks, art, public-speaking - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 55.2, max: 55.2, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Redding - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: 1551 Market St #102 - **lat**: 40.5837979 - **long**: -122.3903899 - **full address**: 1551 Market St #102, 1551 Market Street, Redding, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Art of Wine Tasting, a Fundraiser for Shasta Youth Leadership Camp - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d91ce89748dbc14efec2f1db2616988e581bd36432400a27037d937549ada9d1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc801c2b-gmir.jpg?v=1749351049 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Art of Wine Tasting, a Fundraiser for Shasta Youth Leadership Camp being held? - **A:** The Art of Wine Tasting, a Fundraiser for Shasta Youth Leadership Camp takes place on Tue, 24 Jun, 2025 at 06:00 pm to Tue, 24 Jun, 2025 at 08:00 pm at 1551 Market St #102, 1551 Market Street, Redding, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for The Art of Wine Tasting, a Fundraiser for Shasta Youth Leadership Camp? - **A:** Tickets for The Art of Wine Tasting, a Fundraiser for Shasta Youth Leadership Camp are priced at USD 55 per person.
