An experiment with... wine

I was asked to write a short press release for a restaurant that wanted to conduct a basic wine education course. It completely slipped my mind because of the many things happening at work and my bout with bronchitis. They called me again last night and I put one together hurriedly, which I hope will still be worth their while.

Anyway, I want to experiment about content. This article is heavy on certain keywords and I wanna check if this makes a difference with Google. In case you happen to be around Manila when they do conduct one course, you might want to check this out...

Basic Wine Education Course at Lemuria

After your first few experiences with wine, you’re ready to learn more. And if you were acquainted with wines at Lemuria, the gourmet fine dining restaurant, you’re in for a treat. This year-old restaurant is making a name for its exceptional cuisine, but this is perfectly complemented by the wide range of wine choices from Brumms Quality Wines, Inc.

Lemuria will be offering a Basic Wine Education Course, called “Cheers to the Grapes” with lectures and of course, the actual wine tasting. And you can’t have it any better because the venue, one of the function rooms at Lemuria, will be set up almost similar to the wine tasting areas in wineries at Napa Valley.

Six wines, representing the major grapes that Filipino wine drinkers are likely to encounter, will be used for the tasting component of the course. These include:

Sauvignon Blanc St. Clair Pioneer Block I
Reisling Robert Weil Kabinett 2005
Chardonnay McManis
Pinot Noir Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon
Shiraz Mitolo The Jester Shiraz

The first wine education course is set for July **, 2007. Only 10 participants per session will be accommodated for the two-and-a-half-hour course, which starts at 6:30 p.m. The fee is PhP ****** per person, inclusive of the wines to be sampled. ************ will guide you in this special wine course.

Leave with the knowledge that you’ve learned the wines and their distinctive characteristics, and are ready to be adventurous in your next wine drinking experience.
