Difficulty level: Wine 101
Fortified wine has been a significant part of vino-history since the 18th century. In fact, the practice of adding brandy to stabilize wine is what made it possible to transport different wines around the globe in the first place! But for the last couple of generations, fortified wine has felt stuffy and inaccessible to American drinkers. However, we are starting to see a resurgence: fortified wines are appearing in cocktails, new regions are playing with old styles, and there are whispers the category might be the savior of wine in a world faced with global warming. Join Annie Edgerton, DWSET, as she takes you on a journey of the past, present, and future of fortified wines, and the incredible array of their styles. We’ll taste Sherry, Port, Madeira, and more, making converts out of the skeptics, and fanatics out of the believers. 

This class will begin at 6:00pm on Tuesday, October 29 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.

Lafarge-Vial: Cru Beaujolais Made Like Burgundy's Best

In 2022, Domaine Lafarge-Vial produced simply sensational Cru Beaujolais. These are deep, finally balanced wines with a deliciously rich fruitiness that makes these a lot of fun to drink now. But they are made in a Burgundian style and have a sneaky amount of structure for Gamay-based wines, so they are also unquestionably ageworthy. If you are a fan of Lafarge, or of great Beaujolais, these are must-tries:

Arnot-Roberts' Gorgeous Trousseau is the New California Icon We Need

Among the classic cult wines of California, we have a favorite that's especially refreshing, unique, groundbreakingly innovative, and elegant. It's also pure fun, joyful and somehow one of the most affordable — when you can get it — of them all. How is this possible? Because it's Arnot-Roberts' Trousseau, one of the new-wave California icons that has never lost its touch.

Terrific 2021 Côte-Rôtie from Rising Rhône Star Xavier Gerard

Xavier Gerard is a relative newcomer to the world of old school Côte-Rôtie vignerons. But since he took over for his father in 2012, the wines have become critical darlings. John Livingston-Learmonth raves vintage in and vintage out. But they aren't the kind of Côte-Rôties that appeal *only* to wine geeks and Northern Rhône nuts. Xavier is friends of the Levet family, the super-old school producers in Côte-Rôtie whose wines are very much on the wild and woolly side of what the appellation can do.
