Wine Class & Tasting: Why Wines Taste Different

Cost: $55

Why Wines Taste Different

How Winemaking Choices Shape Flavor

Ever wonder why two wines made from the same grape can taste completely different?

In this class, we’ll explore how decisions made during the winemaking process — from oak aging to fermentation — shape the flavor, texture, aroma, and style of a wine.

Through guided tastings, John Tato will break down the techniques behind the bottle in a way that’s approachable, engaging, and easy to understand.

You’ll leave with a better understanding of:

• why some wines taste richer or smoother than others
• how oak changes flavor
• how winemakers influence style and texture
• what to look for when choosing wines you love

No wine expertise required — just curiosity and a love of good wine.
