SOUTH DENNIS, Mass. — Harney’s Liquors inside Ring Bros. Marketplace on Cape Cod will launch free wine classes beginning Oct. 15. Ed Makuta, Harney’s sommelier, will lead the classes, which will be held every Wednesday from 6 to 7 p.m. through Dec. 1. This is Makuta’s second series of classes. “I hope to teach people to be more confident and comfortable going to the wine store,” said Makuta. “With the information provided in these classes they will gain the knowledge and confidence to try new wines.” This first class will be a basic introduction to wine. The rest of the series will focus on different grape varietals, including chardonnay, merlot and cabernet. Participants will sample various wines discussed in each class.
