Taste Like a Pro at the Atlanta Wine School

Join Paul Kelly Wheeler Wednesday, February 25th at 7 p.m.

  • Enjoy eight (8) wines for tasing, two of which will be tasted blind
  • All AWS courses with wine ALWAYS include artisanal cheeses, salumi, olive selection, warmed marcona almonds with olive oil & rosemary, dark chocolate truffles, and a selection of crackers and fresh breads (some are Gluten-Free options)
