Difficulty level: Wine 101
France’s Rhône Valley is a marvel. The Northern and Southern regions are fascinatingly different from one another, in geography and the wines they produce, and yet they share an enchanting wildness. The Rhône has been a viticultural hotspot for over 2,000 years and there are 21 authorized grape varieties, yet some appellations use only a single one. Bordeaux may be for the statesman, Burgundy for the intellectual, but the Rhône is for the passionate adventurer. Annie Edgerton, DWSET, will take you on a journey through the breathtaking region, its history, varieties, and styles, sampling five incredibly diverse wines. Will she be able to corral everything the Rhône has to offer into one class? She’s ready to try!

This class will begin at 6:00pm on Tuesday, November 5 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 Can't-Miss Old-Vine Red Burg: Camus-Bruchon's Savigny-lès-Beaune

Camus-Bruchon's 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune "Aux Grands Liards Vieilles Vignes," shows how beautifully old vines translate classic terroir and Guillaume Camus did an exemplary job letting his vines sing in 2022. Despite the heat and stress of the vintage, he has managed to capture wines with incredible precision and balance with generous, juicy ripe fruit balanced with unstoppable freshness and lift.

A Duo of Amazing Alto Piemonte Wines: Le Piane's Boca + Nebbiolo

Located in the small village of Boca, Le Piane is one of our favorite Alto Piemonte producers. Swiss-born Christoph Kunzli purchased the cellar and a tiny clutch of vines from octogenarian vigneron Antonio Cerri soon after arriving in the region in the late 1980s. If — like us — you find a hypothetical cross between the traditional wines of Barolo and the Savoie quite enticing, then these wines are must-trys.
