CULINARY & WINE WINE TALK

NEW

Age 21+ with Kay Cadei Newby, Certified Sommelier, 10 years of wine industry experience, and French Wine Scholar.

What is all that wine talk anyway? Oaky, minerally, earthy, fruity, tannic...what does it all mean? How do I choose my wines? How do I know if I’ll Like them? Will they go wiith my food?

Join Kay Cadei Newby, certified Sommelier, for a class that will help you to demystify the abundant adjectives that are bandied about and give practical advice about tasting, buying, pairing with food, and most importantly, getting to know your own palate so you can choose wines to have on hand for entertaining or for your own pleasure.

The innovative approach of this class takes total immersion to a new level, with a culinary class that covers not only essentials of the cuisine, but also the culture and culinary history of our topics.

During three interactive sessions, we’ll evaluate wines, identify components of wine, learn about the aroma wheel, rate wines, pair wine with food, and learn to buy wines that are available in any price range. Our final class will be held at the popular Martins West Gastropub on Main Street in Redwood City.

Lab Fee: $20 payable at 1st class.

We will also discuss ingredient sourcing, prepare ahead shortcuts, and final meal hints.

BEGINNING DOG OBEDIENCE (DOGS 4 MONTHS +) Family Members Age 11+ with Paige Tyson. Questions about class content?

Call 209.532.6269 Beginning: In this class, your dog is taught to sit, down, stay, come, heel and easy (walking nicely at the end of the leash without pulling). The dog is taught to move freely and easily with the collar, so one day you barely have to use it. The dog is also taught to perform things and to willingly do or not do things, not just be prevented from doing them. Verbal and/ or physical praise from owner is given. This builds a relationship between owner and dog. Any specific problems you are having will be addressed and cured in class or by a lifestyle change at home. You will need a 6 foot leather leash. Instructor will supply the nylon collar.

Intermediate: This class will instruct students in off-leash control.

This is done with the addition of a 30 foot long line.

ALL Dogs must have current rabies and distemper vaccinations. A 6 foot leather leash is required. Special nylon choke collar included in fee. Minimum owner age is 11 years old.

MARTIAL ARTS & SPORTS CLASSES TAI CHI CHUAN WHOLE BODY MOVEMENT

with Linda Scheer, M.S. Vocational Rehab, practicing Tai Chi since 1988 and teaching since 1995.

Tai Chi Chuan is a soft, internal energy martial art, promoting balance, health, and relaxation. The class covers Chi Kung warm-ups, the Tai Chi stance and principles, the short and long integrated forms and applications, and partner movement. The individual begins learning the basics and the form. Partner movement happens only when the student is comfortable with it and is approached without force. Standing massage may be included in order to relax you into the Tai Chi mindset, but it is purely optional.

Wear comfortable clothing. Talk with instructor prior to registering in the Intermediate class.

FREE AGENT SPORTS LISTS Are you looking to play on a Softball, Volleyball, or Basketball team, but do not have a team to play on? If so, this year we have added a new “FREE AGENT FORM”. We do not place individuals on specific teams, but will provide a place where teams can go to find additional players for their teams, should they need people.

Free Agent Forms can be downloaded at : www.quickscores.com/redwoodcity You will be required to complete the entire form, including what sport you would like to play, age, level of ability, positions you play, and a current photo of you. The form will be kept on file in the Sports Commissioner’s office, and only be used as a guide for Team Managers. If you have been placed on an old Free Agent list in the past, you must complete the new form for 2009. Incomplete forms will not be processed. Another way to find a team is to go to the games directly, and ask the managers. We’ll do our best to find a team for you to play on.
