Uncorked Vintage Academia brings you an unique inside look at the world of Viognier in styles and winemaking production methods - at the one and only The Austin Winery!

This Viognier Masterclass is about exploration and expanding horizons - we will have a range from sparkling wines, as well as still wines ranging from dry to sweet late harvest
Yes, Viognier for dessert!

Our Spotlight feature falls on hallmark Horton Vineyards from Virginia, a staple in the world of Viognier - we'll explore their sparkling Viognier, as well as a vertical tasting of their Viognier from the early 1990's, mid 2000's and some early to late 2010's - a window into the ageability of Viognier from this iconic benchmark producer!
And a rare and unique opportunity to try these wines!
These are ex-domaine bottles, directly from the Horton's cellars in support of our educational endeavor.

We are pending confirmation on local winemaker Benedicte Rhyne of Kuhlman Cellars to be featured guest speaker and share her lovely crafty viognier wines with us.

We'll explore at minimum 20 wines spanning 25+ years!
