St. Helena, CA, June 24, 2010 – Night school has never been so much fun. The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone (CIA) introduces a series of evening wine classes, "Barrel Ends: Evening Conversations at the CIA." Organized by local wine educator, Paul Wagner, sessions will be held at the Rudd Center for Professional Wine Studies, every Thursday and Friday from 6–7:30 p.m. Classes are open to the general public and cost $25 per person for advanced purchase, $30 at the door. Students may sign up by visiting www.ciaprochef.com/winestudies or call 707-967-2568.

Each class is a stand-alone unit taught by a well-known winemaker or wine expert and offers the opportunity to taste a variety of wines and learn more about winemaking, specific appellations, wine regions or varietals. It is a perfect class for culinary students, Napa residents, tasting room staff, and wine knowledgeable visitors looking for evening activities.
