I love that you are now doing a monthly Brooks university tasting and education course. To combine the fun and love of wine tasting with education is fantastic. I love being able to enjoy great wine from brooks and be able to also learn about our local AVA’s. And hear from local industry leaders.

Brooks University was a fun event in a relaxed environment that welcomed all questions about the wine industry. I appreciated information about the AVA areas and what that means! I love being able to not only learn something new today, but also be able to taste delicious wines, and have an amazing time!
