The Texas Rangers today announced a series of wine tasting classes to be hosted at the ballpark in the coming months, with the first offering, Wine 101, slated for 7 p.m. Wednesday, February 14, 2018.

Offered with everyone from the wine rookie to the veteran connoisseur in mind, the classes will highlight the fundamentals of wine origin, selection, and tasting. Complimentary cheese boards will be provided by Delaware North.

The classes will be led by Tom Dobson, a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers, who has traveled to wine regions all over France, Italy, Spain, and the United States.

The wine tasting classes join the painting classes, which kicked off in January, as the first offerings in a series of new experiences being hosted at Globe Life Park. Fans will have the opportunity to experience the ballpark in unique ways through various creative, active, and culinary classes. Each class will be hosted by local instructors with specialized skillsets and the ability to deliver world-class, hands-on experiences to guests.
