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!
Island Hopping
When one thinks about the islands, they likely think of lobster for breakfast, a nap for lunch, and Pina Coladas at midnight. When we think about Islands, wine is FIRST to come to mind. Islands are also home to many of the world's most incredible, distinct, and enjoyable wines. In this class, we're island hopping, and taking you around the world to some of the most beautiful islands, and the surprising role they have in today's wine world. Some points of interests include the beautiful Canary Islands, Santorini, Sicily, Sardinia, Madeira, and Tasmania! We'll discuss the factors that shape these wines; geology, geography, history, technique, and laws.
Tour of France
It is impossible to think about wine without thinking about France. France is truly a country dedicated to wine, and great wine, at that. Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace: all have their traditions, native grapes, and regional foods. But what makes France so special? In this class, we’re taking a tour of this gorgeous country. First, we're going deep into the underground, dimly lit caves of Champagne to explore our favorite bubbly treat! From there, we're exploring everywhere from the canals of Colmar in Alsace and the infamous hill of Hermitage, to the Loire Valley, as we cycle beside the river from town to town. We'll cover everything from wine laws to classic grape varieties, regions, and more
Piedmont vs. Tuscany
Do you wonder how to choose between the "Big B's" of Italy; Barolo, Barbaresco, and Brunello? Perhaps you're looking for the perfect Italian Pairing for your Osso Bucco, or Bistecca alla Fiorentina? We're putting two classic and renowned Italian regions head to head: Piedmont & Tuscany. While both are famous for their structured reds, bountiful history, and food culture, these two regions couldn't be more different in their philosophies, grape varieties, climate, and histories. We'll explore both, from Alto Piemonte to Bolgheri, and discuss what makes these two regions so distinctive, their wines so sought after, our favorite producers, and more.
