Stonewall, Texas – January 29, 2020 – Kuhlman Cellars will host a Vina Vita University Aromas class on February 16, 2020 from 11 am – 1 pm where students will decode the aroma of wine. This second installment of Kuhlman Cellars’ wine appreciation series, led by Certified Sommelier Brandi Pratt, will help students make sense of how to taste wine using the sense of smell, which will culminate in a fun blind tasting “competition.”
