Wine Class: Understanding White Wine (Acid & Sweetness) – McLean

In this foundational class, you’ll learn how acidity and sweetness shape the taste, balance, and refreshment factor of wine. Through a guided tasting of contrasting white wines, you’ll discover how to identify dryness, perceive residual sugar, and understand why high-acid wines feel crisp and vibrant. We’ll introduce a simple tasting framework you can use anytime you open a bottle. By the end of the session, you’ll have the vocabulary and confidence to describe what you’re tasting and understand why you prefer certain styles.
