Event: Wine 101

Where: Blind Bishop at 310 Sunset Ave, Dallas, TX 75208

Price: $75

Format: This is a seated, interactive class with instruction. You will learn about each wine in a very hands-on format, so you can immediately put your new tasting skills and wine knowledge into practice.

Level: Beginner-friendly - we will start from square one. This is an educational event that’s both a little nerdy and a lot of fun!

Experience: You will first learn about a wine tasting system that the professionals use. This will give you the vocabulary and a method to describe the wines you do or do not enjoy, so you can make better choices for yourself when buying or ordering wine.

You will taste and discuss six different grapes to have a foundational understanding of what distinguishes wines such as Chardonnay versus Sauvignon Blanc or Syrah versus Cabernet Sauvignon. We will then walk through how to read a wine label or list so you can decipher what an unfamiliar wine might taste like based on those profiles.

We will also explore the basic principles of food and wine pairing. By learning how wine interacts with different aspects of food, you will be able to more confidently select a wine to go with your meal at a restaurant, purchase wines to pair at home, and make selections when hosting others.

Wines: Three white wines (like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay) and three red wines (like Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon).

Food: You will have a plate of food components representing basic tastes (sweet, salt, acid etc.) to learn and practice with food and wine pairing principles. We will also have a light selection of artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, and bread to enjoy with the wines.

 Why Blind Bishop’s Wine 101 is different:

This class is designed by Dilek Caner, Master of Wine, who has taught various wine certification and tasting courses for more than 20 years in New York City and in Dallas. In designing our Wine 101, Dilek used her experience towards the following goals:

• You will get the most accurate and up-to-date information about the ever-changing world of wine.
• The information is distilled down to what is most relevant and topical for a beginner. Instead of learning trivia that one tends to forget, you will receive usable information that you can immediately put into practice.
• The wines you taste in class are selected carefully as classic, high-quality examples of their types so you can gain a true understanding of what is typical for different grapes and regions.
• If you are in the wine industry or thinking about a career in wine, this course is also a solid starting point to understanding foundational concepts and preparing you for the next step.
• All of our instructors have multiple, advanced wine certifications and are experienced wine professionals.
• Last but not least, this is a great way to get into wine and also meet other wine enthusiasts who share your excitement and desire for learning about wine.

Classic Wine of the Week: Champagne Pierre Peters, “Cuvée de Réserve” Blanc de Blancs, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, France NV

Pierre Péters has produced Champagne in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger since 1919, working exclusively with Grand Cru Chardonnay from this renowned village in the Côte des Blancs. Le Mesnil is famous for its austere, stony, limestone-rich character, which gives its wines remarkable tension and clarity.

The estate’s Chardonnay is planted by sélection massale rather than clones, preserving genetic diversity and expression of terroir. The Cuvée de Réserve is a blend of the current harvest and reserve wines from the past 20 vintages, maintained in a perpetual (solera-like) system that adds depth and continuity to the wine’s profile.

This Blanc de Blancs is precise, finely etched, and intensely mineral, with a chalky texture and crystalline purity that perfectly reflect its origins. It’s a Champagne highly regarded among sommeliers, collectors, and wine professionals for its authenticity and terroir expression.

Why this is a classic:

A benchmark grower Champagne, Pierre Péters “Cuvée de Réserve” shows Le Mesnil’s signature—purity, focus, and saline minerality—in its most transparent form. It captures the soul of Chardonnay from chalk, crafted with patience and precision.

Classic Wine of the Week: Vall Llach, “Porrera Vi de Vila,” Priorat, Spain 2022

Priorat is a small, rugged region with steep slopes in Catalonia. It rose to prominence in the late 1980s, when winemakers began crafting powerful wines from its ancient, steeply terraced vineyards. Today, it holds Spain’s highest quality designation (DOCa), alongside Rioja.

The poor, rocky soils and old vines here result in tiny, concentrated yields, giving the wines depth and intensity. The classic Priorat blend is Grenache (Garnatxa) and Carignan (Carinyena). But Grenache in Priorat expresses itself differently than in warmer regions—it is brighter, more lifted, and more mineral, showing purity rather than roasted fruit.

This wine comes from Porrera, one of the region’s highest-altitude villages, which adds even more freshness and aromatic clarity.

Why this is a classic:

This style—old-vine Grenache and Carignan grown on steep rock—is central to Priorat’s identity. It’s a benchmark expression that shows how Grenache can be both powerful and vibrant, an essential reference point for understanding the region.

Tenuta delle Terre Nere, Etna Rosso on special and by the glass!

Saturday, Nov 15 (5:00pm-9:00pm) at Blind Bishop

Etna Rosso comes from the high-altitude slopes of Mount Etna, where volcanic soils and dramatic elevation shifts create many microclimates. The result? Beautifully terroir-driven wines with real identity and energy. Nerello Mascalese — the signature grape of Etna Rosso — conveys its place with a transparency that rivals the world’s most expressive varieties, like Pinot Noir and Riesling.

This grape has been making waves among sommeliers and savvy wine drinkers for over a decade. Often compared to Pinot Noir for its elegant red fruit and finesse, it adds a cheerful volcanic spark all its own. It’s vibrant, versatile, incredibly food-friendly… a red that gets along with just about everything.

It’s delicious. It’s Italian. And it’s time you got to know it.
Come taste what the buzz is all about! 🍒🌋🍷
