Wines of the United States, UCB Extension

A new UC Berkeley Extension catalog is coursing through the mail as you read this. You all know what that means: the announcement for my next wine class. This summer, I'll be teaching a 4-week course entitled Wines of the United States. The school offers Wines of California and Europe, but I wanted to show my students some of this country's other wines, which can be hard to find here in the middle of California's behemoth wine industry.



Here's the schedule I pitched:


  • Class 1: Texas and the Southwest

  • Class 2: The East Coast (New York and Virginia, among others)

  • Class 3: The Midwest (Missouri, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan)

  • Class 4: The Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Idaho)




Sign up early; sign up often.
