Have you ever wanted to take a class in something but just couldn't find the time? Maybe an all-day Thai cooking seminar, or even a semester-long culinary class at Phoenix College? Such is the story of my life these days. There are so many things I'd love to study just for fun, and never get around to fitting them into my schedule.

Wine classes often catch my eye. (What better topic for research?) Besides the time commitment, they're often kind of pricey. Epicurean Wine's two-hour "Wine 101 Crash Course" sounds more doable, and it's only fifty bucks. (I shouldn't say "only," because I'm hoarding nickels for vacation right now, but you know what I mean.) As usual, I can't make this one, but maybe they'll have one again. At least I got to tell somebody about it...

Epicurean Wine is located on the southwest corner of Scottsdale Rd. and Thunderbird. The class runs from 3 to 5 p.m. this Saturday, and seating is limited. Call 480-998-7800 to get in on it.
