Basque Wines - March 2025

We have to admit this class may have been a little selfish on our part. We have been dreaming about doing a class on the Basque regions for years and it is finally here! The Basque Country wine region is an autonomous community in northern Spain. This particular area of the wine world is not only beautiful, but has a culture as unique as the varieties of wine they produce. We can’t wait to taste with you and teach you about what makes this region special. We have 3 different wines from each of 3 different wine regions in Basque. Be prepared for mind boggling spellings, crisp and refreshing wines, and some new dishes to put in your arsenal for your next dinner party.

Pinot, Pinot, Pinot - May 2024

Do you know that Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir are all genetically related? But how are they all different colors? What you might not realize, however, is that Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir are color mutations of the same grape. According to research, all Pinots are simply color mutations – which include  Pinot Grigio also known as Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir. In this class we breakdown the differences between each wine and give you the inside scoop on just how these very different wines came about. We have a bottle of each for you to compare and contrast the different wines and taste the differences for yourself! 

Island Hopping - July 2024

Wine is produced all over the world, but did you know there are some excellent wines being produced on small  islands?

We are going to take you anywhere from Tasmania to Corsica and prove that these unique wine regions have a lot to say about wine. Join us on an island vacation full of wine, food pairings, and cultural ideas. There is no class like this one available anywhere but here. So join us for an island vacation full of wine, good times and some of the best dining around.
