I just wish the educator was a bit more informative and educational. When we were guessing the flavors and scents of each wine it seemed she agreed that every fruit/tastes that we each tasted was present in the wine. I wish she would've been more direct in what she tasted and what we should be tasting to better direct our senses of taste instead of agreeing that we taste everything. I liked the wine tasting chart that they gave us, we took them home with us in hopes to use them in our future when we try more wines. Fun date night and entrance class into wine tasting!
