Wine Workshop with Doug: Old World vs. New World Whites

Join us for the next installment of our Wine Workshop with Doug series, an ongoing lineup of guided tastings designed to help you explore and enjoy wine in a relaxed, approachable way.

This month, we're turning our attention to Old World vs. New World white wines, comparing classic European styles with modern expressions from some of the world's most exciting wine regions.

What’s the difference?
Discover how the same grape can produce dramatically different wines depending on where it's grown. From the crisp minerality of Europe to the vibrant fruit flavors of the Americas, Australia, and beyond, you'll experience firsthand how climate, tradition, and winemaking techniques influence every glass.

What to expect:
• Side-by-side white wine comparisons
• Explore differences in acidity, fruit character, and texture
• Learn how region and winemaking shape flavor profiles
• Discover new wines to enjoy all summer long
