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.

Voliero's Radical Rosso di Montalcino Could be Mistaken for Baby Brunello

Sangiovese from Tuscany may be the best source of under-$30 red wine in the world. But which Sangiovese exactly? Is it a racy Chianti Classico? An elegant Vino Nobile di Montepulciano?

Today, we’ll make the case that — at least with the delicious 2022s that are now coming on the market — your best and finest source of under $30 value in Sangiovese comes from Rosso di Montalcino.

A Secret Source for Stunning Volcanic Wines: Hungary's Somlói Vandor

One of the most fascinating volcanic wines we’ve tasted in some time come from the landlocked country of Hungary, specifically the area surrounding Lake Balaton. Made from the native Hungarian grapes Furmint and Juhfark, these wines offer a medley of generous fruit notes, refreshing acidity and that unique savory minerality imparted by volcanic soils.

Baricchi Timorasso: A Gorgeous Piedmont White, After 10 Years Aging

The 2014 Cascina Baricchi Timorraso “Ca Va Sans Dire” is a total showstopper. It comes from a vineyard planted in the 1950s on clay and limestone soils. It spent the first 6 months of its life in stainless steel tanks with regular stirring of the lees. It was then moved to neutral barriques where it rested for a whopping nine years before bottling.
