That Girl takes a wine class



By Leslie Gray Streeter

Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

It’s been nearly 20 years (yikes!) since I earned my Bachelors in journalism, but I’m still all about the learning, even without the promise of a piece of paper and a fancy hat. The “Bubbles and Caviar”class that the Mr. and I just took at the Virginia Philip Wine Shop and Academy didn’t end with “Pomp and Circumstance,” but with some lasting knowledge, about the caviar industry in Uruguay, the difference between champagne and prosecco, and how not to look goofy with creme fraiche sitting on your lip (that one was self-taught.) Philip, the sommelier at The Breakers, offers so many different classes on various wines and pairings throughout the year, for the expert and those like me who are thirsty (ha!) to learn.
