Join our Wine Director Erin Dudley for a class and tasting of fine French wines made from the Gamay grape!

Wines made from the Gamay grape are often light in body and tannins, but jam-packed with flavor! From juicy, chuggable styles to the complex food-friendly wines from the Crus of Beaujolais, the grape is more diverse than many may expect. It's one of our Wine Director Erin's favorite grapes, and she is so excited to share some of her top choices.

Join us for a casual seated wine class where we will discuss the complex history of the Gamay grape while tasting six incredibly diverse French expressions with our Wine Director, Erin Dudley, at Josephine!

Included with your ticket:

  • Seated wine class with certified sommelier and Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley CSW
  • Tasting of six fine wines made with Gamay!
  • Small serving of artisanal cheese and accoutrements
