Wine knowledge tends to be a surprising area of stress for people. No one wants to be handed a leather-bound list in a fancy restaurant with no idea how to navigate it, or to be stuck aimlessly wandering the aisles of the local wine shop. Luckily, New York is one of the world's centers of wine appreciation. The classes listed here will help you get a jump-start on your knowledge of the grape. (Although the famed Windows on the World Wine School already has started its fall curriculum, you can check kevinzraly.com for future classes.) On your marks: swirl, smell, sip, quaff!
