In this wine-tasting class, held in our cozy barrel room, we'll dive into the topic of "old world" and "new world" wines. 

Whereas old-world wines are generally thought of as being from areas where winemaking originated (France, Italy, Germany, among others), new-world wines are often thought of as being from areas were winemaking traditions were imported (United States, New Zealand, Argentina). To figure out what that means, and how the distinctions and categories are not always so clear cut, we'll sip a range of wines in pairs—one old world example matched with one new world expression—while delving into history, genealogy, geography, and terroir, as well as production methods, aging, flavor profiles, and food pairings. You’ll sharpen your wine knowledge, gain confidence, and strengthen your understanding of your own tastes. Join us and get educated, with a glass in hand!

This course includes a family style selection of cheese and charcuterie with baguette.
