Liquid Fortitude: A Guide to Fortified Wines

  • The Oenophile Institute 1295 W Spring St Smyrna, GA, 30080 United States (map)

This class is intended for curious newcomers, dessert wine skeptics, cocktail enthusiasts, and anyone ready to fall in love with the forgotten icons of wine.

From the sunbaked soleras of Jerez to the sea-swept lodges of Madeira, fortified wines have long balanced power, sweetness, and elegance. In this immersive class, we’ll demystify Port, Sherry, and Madeira, by exploring how fortification works, what makes each style unique, and how to use them in cocktails. You’ll taste through a range of profiles, from bone-dry Fino to opulent Tawny, learning how these storied wines evolved from maritime trade routes to modern cocktail bars.
