Pointe Claire resident Natalie Purchio is looking for a few interested oenophiles looking to expand their base of knowledge about wine.

Explore the broad strokes of Italian wine traditions and begin to understand the countless underlying factors that influence wine styles, from the notion of terroir to the wine classification system. To complement this journey and highlight the significance of the Vino d'Italia, a varied selection of SAQ wines will be sampled, three wines per class. Nathalie Purchio is a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers.

The course is set for Pierrefonds' East Community Centre, located at 9665 Gouin Blvd. The course is slated to run weekly, starting Oct. 1 (tentatively) from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. and the course costs $150. For more information, call Nathalie Purchio at 514-638-1379
