LIVE: Improving Your Wine Knowledge With Killavey of Newport Vineyards

If you want to expand your wine knowledge, Newport Vineyards' sommelier Kevin Killavey, says tasting other wines that you wouldn’t normally drink is a great way to start learning. 

Killavey has been in the wine industry for three years and has a level three Wine and Spirit Education Trust certification. Currently, he’s studying to become a master of wine.

Killavey says don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions while at tastings, wineries and in restaurants and don't prejudge a wine before trying it. 

Learning to store wine properly is important as well, he suggests treating wine like a living thing.  

Killavey also talked about several upcoming events at Newport Vineyards including the WINEterfest weekend and a fundraising dinner event for Puerto Rico.
