If you’re like me, you’re a fan of wine but not quite educated on the topic yet. That’s why I love wine tastings and courses. This Saturday (if you’re not at Hoboken’s St. Patrick’s Day) you can take a Wines of Argentina and Chile course at Vero Midtown or Uptown for $65, with proceeds going to AmeriCares and their Chile relief efforts. You’ll learn about the wines of Argentina and Chile while sampling various wines and paired food from the region. Both locations will be offering this course with a charity component from 4-6 pm or 7-9 pm.

This wine course is one of several that Vero began offering a few weeks ago. Hosted by their new Sommelier, each class will feature wines from their extensive wine list and either focus on a region or type of wine. And of course, if you’re looking for a deal at Vero, don’t forget about their free panini with each glass of wine special valid at both locations on Monday nights.
