Thanks Lynne!!
Such great pictures!
We were led to a table - set very nice with our wine glasses and some cheese, fruit, and crackers to go with the wine samplings!

The seminar was given by the ship's head sommelier. He was very informative and taught us a lot about wine! We learned the importance of picking up your glass by the stem and swirling it in your glass before tasting! There was, indeed, a big difference in the taste of the wine if you sipped it before swirling it and after! There was a much bolder flavor after swirling it around!
The seminar was about an hour. We had booked it pre-cruise. We both enjoyed it and would highly recommend it!
Amazing report! We were on Oasis in Jan of 2014 and really need to get back on one of these ships!
I did a wine tasting on Harmony. Wasn't that impressed with the wines, but agree about the sommelier - this is one of their opportunities to show off their knowledge, and they definitely do that.
Once you learn this, you can't go back!
Yay, for more wine knowledge. Great pictures as always, and you did a lot even if you didn't get off the ship much. Enjoy reading.
