Difficulty Level: Wine 101

Much of what you taste in a glass of wine is inherent to the terroir, weather, and grapes. But there’s also so much in the glass that is a result of specific winemaking decisions. In this class, Ren Peir, WSETIII, will guide you in an exploration of various winemaking techniques and processes and explain how they affect the final taste of the wine. If you're looking to build your tasting skills, this class is for you. 

We hope you can join us on Tuesday, February 24 at 6pm on the mezzanine for this special event.

In addition to teaching classes, Ren throws exclusive dinner popups and wine collaboration events all over the city. She loves advocating for wines made from sustainable and mindful farming practices.

Second Bite at the Apple: Picq Chablis 2022s

Second Bite at the Apple: Picq Chablis 2022s

Now, if you're new to these newsletters, you might not know what all the fuss is about.
