Scroll down the High Plains Winegrowers site till you see information about these two classes.
The classes will be taught by Daniel Kelada.

He is also the Founder of GUSTO Tastings, which is a wine education and event production company who’s niche is curating wine experiences, whether educational in nature or social.

The Binghams will be there in full force.
Blessings,
