California Uncorked- Wine Class at Total Wine (And Dinner After Class!)
Total Wine and More, 10420 Coors Bypass Nw Ste B, Albuquerque, NM, USCome join us for another fun wine class at Total Wine on Cottonwood! 🍷🍇
This will be our second Total Wine class together as a Meetup group! This time, we’ll be exploring the wonderful world of California wines. 🇺🇸🌴
We are so fortunate to live in a country where so many of our states grow amazing grapes that eventually become wonderful wines, and California is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in American wine. So why not learn more about its wines together?
Just a quick note: I won’t be teaching this class! 😂 I’ll be taking it alongside everyone else. I found the class through Total Wine and thought it would be a great event to share with the group.
🍷 Class Cost: $20
Payment is made directly to Total Wine when you reserve your spot.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Space in the class is limited! RSVPing on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat in the class. You must register and pay directly through Total Wine using the link below:

Dinner afterward!
After class, we’ll head somewhere nearby for dinner and keep the evening going. I’m currently thinking Red Lobster, but I’m absolutely open to other suggestions!
If you don’t want to take the wine class but would still like to join us for dinner, that’s totally fine! Just RSVP/let me know by September 2nd so I can get an accurate headcount.
Come learn about California wine, taste some wine, meet some people, and then join us for dinner afterward. Whether you already love California wines or barely know a Cabernet from a Chardonnay, you’re welcome. 🍷❤️16 attendees
