Sommelier Arnie Millan presents the Introduction to Wine Classes which begin Sunday, July 8, 2007. The program of seven classes are scheduled every Sunday from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. These same classes were featured in The Wall Street Journal.

The weekly wine classes will be held at the Warwick Hotel, 401 Lenora Street in Downtown Seattle. Parking at $2.50 can be validated for the hotel garage (free if you dine at Margaux).
