Difficulty level: Wine 101
Are you a member of the ABC ("Anything but Chardonnay") club? No judgement, but you may have noticed that your wine geek friends can't get enough of this incredibly versatile grape and its expressions from Burgundy and Champagne to Western Australia and beyond. If you're feeling left out, this class is for you. Break the stereotype and find out why wine industry folks are obsessed with the grape. In this class we'll learn the various production methods of Chardonnay and the subsequent effects on taste. Ren Peir, WSET III, might just make a believer out of you.

This class will begin at 6:00pm on Tuesday, November 12 and run for approximately 90 minutes. Wines tasted in class will be available for purchase with a discount available to attendees only. 

Each class begins at 6pm. Unless otherwise noted, classes will last approximately 75-90 minutes. Seating is limited and we encourage early arrival if you wish to sit together with your party. If your plans change, let us know as soon as possible: refunds can only be issued when notice is given 48 hours before the start of class.

A Delicious Experiment in Burgundy: Trapet's À Minima Passetoutgrain

It’s an easygoing blend of Pinot Noir (naturally) and Gamay, a lingering reminder of that grape’s long history in the region (until Philip the Good, very dramatically, banished the variety in the 14th century, and it found a new home in Beaujolais).

Great Value From Opposite Ends of the Boot

There’s a little-known spot in the middle of Sicily with incredible viticultural treasures.

Scientists believe this is the birthplace of Nero d'Avola.

Julian Haart's Skill + Klaus-Peter Keller's Terroir = A Stunning Riesling

Rote Erden comes from the Zellertal am Schwarzen Hergott, a cold parcel on pure limestone soils. Keller farms the vines, but Julian calls the harvest, and the fruit is trucked back to Piesport to be vinified and aged in Julian’s cellar.
