There are wine classes galore in New York, but Charlie Bird restaurant in SoHo offers an insider’s approach: The tastings, intended for staff, are open to the public free of charge, once a week with a reservation. Grant Reynolds, the wine director and a partner, runs the lively program. Three wines are usually sampled and explained, he said, and all can be found at his Parcelle Wine.
One-hour wine class, Tuesdays, 3:30 p.m., Charlie Bird, 5 King Street (Avenue of the Americas), 212-235-7133, charliebirdnyc.com, for reservations, call Parcelle, 212-258-0722, parcellewine.com.
