Fall & Winter Classes & Events

I teach public cheese making and and private wine & cheese classes all over the Bay Area! (I no longer teach private cheesemaking classes- just pairings!) Find out more about my private classes here, or email kirstin@itsnotyouitsbrie.com with questions. As a friendly reminder, these classes fill up fast. If they’re listed but sold out, get on the school’s waiting list- sometimes spots open up. 

  • Besides my June Cheese & Wine Pairing 101 class, this summer is booked with private classes, new projects, and vacation! I am not teaching any public classes beyond this until fall.

  • Fall events will be listed as soon as planned. Thank you for your interest!

Somm Darlings & Mastering the Wine List

  • 18 Reasons 3674 18th Street San Francisco, CA, 94110 United States (map)

Have you ever looked at a wine list at a high-end or farm-to-table restaurant and thought, "is this the name of the grape or the winemaker?", "what the heck is an orange wine", or "I have no idea they made wines in Slovenia"?

If so, you are not alone. In this class, we’ll break down the infamous, baffling wine list. We'll dissect a few of the wine lists of the best restaurants in town, sample and learn about about Sommelier wine darlings and popular wine trends you'll see on BTG (by-the-glass) lists, and talk about how to order the best wine for you and your dining companions. The class material will also be applicable to choosing a bottle in wine shops. To illustrate all points, of course, we will drink wine. Expect to leave informed, refreshed, and able to order like a true wine geek. 

As there will be a fair amount of wine, please be sure to have an early dinner or snacks before class.
