UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Lake County Wine Studio is presenting an interactive exploration of Lake County varietals, appellations and wine making styles co-hosted by Shannon Michele.

The series aims to help participants advance their sensory evaluation and wine tasting skills with specially selected varietals, flights and verticals paired with "snackatizers" to compliment the wine tasting experience.

The third in the four-part series on Saturday, Sept. 15, will focus on red blends and will feature Moore Family Winery Bottlerock Red, R Vineyards Red Blend, Gregory Graham Cinder Cone Reserve and a three-vintage flight of Fults Family Vineyards Wildfire.

The cost is $25 for each session per person. Seating is limited.
