Wine Profiles: Gain a better understanding of your wine preferences
Everyone’s palate and wine preferences are different. And with so many wines to choose from, how do you decide what’s best for you? Wine Profiles can help. Think of it as the “make-up counter experience” or “golf club fitting”, but with wine. We will lead you through a tasting of 6 wines to help you deconstruct your preferences. At the end you will have a greater understanding of why you like certain wines over others and the specific characteristics to look for when choosing wine. Choose a white or red profile for your group.
Everything Rosé
Every time is the right time for Rosé. This special seasonal class welcomes the new fleet of Rosé wines just as the weather begins to warm up. The new Rosé releases each spring are one of the hottest things to happen in the wine industry. You’ll learn the different techniques used to craft rosé wines, the effect of climate and grape variety on the finished wine, the history of drinking pink, and more. We'll cover the different ways Rosé is made, our latest favorites & perfect pink pairings!
The New California
What's new in California? Plenty. It's almost hard to find a grape or area California winemakers haven't explored. We'll taste and cover: "new school" California wines, from ultra-natural/non-interventionist winemaking to off-the-wall grape varieties, off-the-beaten-path vineyards, and some of our esoteric favorites from emerging stars and regions that are revolutionizing the California wine scene.
Pinot Noir World Tour
Pinot Noir has likely been grown in Burgundy for more than 2,000 years, but producers in the New World are making iterations of the classically French varietal that are rivaling some of the most coveted wines that Burgundy has to offer. The terms “Old World” and “New World” are often discussed when tasting wine, especially when deciphering the location of the wine’s origin. The differences are derived from different winemaking practices, location, climate, and the effect of the land (terroir) on the grapes and wine itself. From its home in France, Pinot Noir has been adapted to a complex variety of countries, terroirs, climates, and styles. We’ll discuss history, characteristics of the grape, winemaking techniques, where it's grown, and the flavors and aromas you can expect based on terroir, single varietal, and blended wines.
Day Tripping: Bordeaux
You can't discuss French wine without first nodding to Bordeaux. Bordeaux has more land under vine than any other wine producing region in France. Located directly off of the Atlantic Ocean, the region has a unique history, dating as far back as the 3rd Century. From age worthy, structured red wines, to dry white wines, and the sweet and fortified wines of Sauternes, Bordeaux sets the caliber for wines across the world, especially those Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot dominated blends. Join us as we explore all that Bordeaux has to offer. Topic of discussion include the principle grape varietals of Bordeaux, the 1855 Classification, top growths of Bordeaux, and wine growing viticulture, regions, and climate.
