Austrian wine specialist Stefanie Lobner, managing director at Premium Estates of Austria, is one of the most charming, and knowledgeable, Austria ambassadors we've met. On Monday, February 10, we're taking advantage of her visit to New York with a special seminar that will look at Austria through the lens of three top producers in the Vineyard Brands portfolio. As we taste the wines of Sattlerhof, Loimer and Wieninger, Stefanie will share her love of this great wine nation. All three producers are customer favorites, and all three are certified by respekt-BIODYN, Austria's biodynamic farming collective.
Please join us on Monday, February 10 at 6pm as we explore this exciting and diverse set of wines with the lovely Stefanie. Light bites will be served. Seating is limited. Tickets for this class are $40 and a $20 store credit will be issued with your purchase.
2025 is about to be our most exciting year yet at Flatiron Wine School! Instructors Julia Burke, Annie Edgerton, and Ren Peir have all prepared a killer lineup of learning opportunities. Check out all class descriptions below, and bear in mind that classes do sell out.
Grower Champagne-quality sparklers are starting to pop up in unexpected locales. We've seen them appear in places you’ve heard of, like California (Ultramarine). Now we are seeing them in a place you’ve never heard of: Plešivica. That’s just a few miles southwest of Zagreb, in Croatia.
When we got the chance to visit, Patrick Bize of Domaine Simon Bize was still a culty magician in Savigny les Beaune (not yet the widely acknowledged master he became), making wines that transcended the (then) grossly undervalued village. What a chance to learn about the ins and outs of Burgundian farming and winemaking!
