Institute for Culinary Education – Wine Studies Programs

Wine Studies Programs
The Wine studies program at The Institute for Culinary Education includes a mix of one-session, two-session and six-session classes. The most in-depth wine class at The Institute is Wine Essentials, which meets once a week for six weeks, with each session dedicated to a particular topic, such as Bordeaux or sparkling and dessert wines.
The school’s Wine and Food Workshops teach students to enjoy wines in combination with food. There are also classes on the wines of France, Italy and the west coast of the United States, and the ever-popular Really Great Wines for Under $15, an apt choice for the budget-minded wine consumer. In short, whatever your wine tastes and needs, there is a class at The Institute to fulfill them.
Our wine tasting room is a 900 square-foot facility with full ventilation (so cooking odors from the pastry kitchens don’t intrude), bright incandescent light and white tabletops (for accurate wine viewing). The classes are taught by a range of the city’s most competent wine, spirit and beer instructors.

French Culinary Institute – Fundamentals of Wine
Location: New York City, NY
Fundamentals of Wine
In the restaurant and hospitality business, knowing your way around a wine cellar can really impact profits. Which is why our Fundamentals of Wine class will give you a significant advantage in the marketplace. This refreshing course takes the snobbery and mystery out of tasting and selling fine wine. Our wine faculty has taught thousands to understand wine through experiential learning, and “the light goes on every time.” Each class features in-depth tastings. Wines are poured, discussed, compared and demystified. Descriptors of aroma and taste suddenly make sense. Proper food pairings are revealed, and absorbed. Best of all, it’s fun.
Your appreciation of wine grows even more once you learn how your knowledge can become a profit center. You’ll learn to merchandise wine in any context, from hospitality to corporate to retail. To create wine lists that “work” for guests, staffers, your food program, and your bottom line. And to cultivate salesmanship at the table-side with customers. In short, The Fundamentals of Wine teaches you to select wine intelligently, suggest it diplomatically, price it correctly, serve it beautifully, store it prudently, and train your staff to do the same. This course is a must for anyone in the culinary field who lacks these critical skills.
