Sake: Beyond the Basics
Wednesday, August 26, 6:30 - 7:30 PM (Eastern Time)
Dive into the world of sake with this lecture and go beyond the basic distinction of junmai and honjozo. Deb Mortillaro, certified sake sommelier, will guide us through how five elements - the rice, the region, the water, the yeast, and the brewer - combine to create unique flavors, even within the same grade of sake. We will learn how those elements are reflected in the labels so you can become a more confident sake connoisseur. This class is a practical tasting, covering Ishioka, Mighty Peak Tokubetsu Junmai;Housui, Fragrant Water Tokubetsu Junmai; Echigo Ikarashi-Gawa, Blue River Ginjo; and Hakuyou, White Sun Junmai Ginjo.
Deb Mortillaro is a former private chef in Pittsburgh, and one of the partners behind Dreadnought Wines, Palate Partners, and Soiree Partners. As a wine educator and distributor, she showcases her expertise through hands-on teaching and business practice.
