Wine Tastings and Class Schedule
Wed 15 October: The Many Styles of Sangiovese [monthly glass pour feature] $35.
Most known for its supreme expression in Italy’s Chianti Classico zone, Sangiovese (‘the blood of Jove’) also shows a wide variety of profiles throughout Tuscany and the New World: its wines can be angular and lean, dark and tannic, or juicy and fresh. Join us as we explore the many faces and styles of this noble varietal with 20-25 Sangioveses from Europe, America, and beyond.
Wed 22 October (please note; new date!): ‘The Earth Speaks’: a Terroir tasting $40.
Does the earth itself - whether chalk, schist, or sandstone, to name a few types - have an impact on flavor? This is one of the most hotly debated topics in the wine world today. Some believe that the trace minerals picked up by the roots have no appreciable relation to the palate, while others claim that this influence is critical in the tasting process. Join us in this unique event as we explore 15-20 wines - many of them blind - from several famous vineyards and a diverse set of soils, and decide for yourself!
Wednesday 12 November: Thanksgiving Wine and Food $45.
Join us for our annual holiday tasting! We'll provide a hearty buffet of classic Thanksgiving fare, along with around a dozen terrific wine pairings - red, white, sparkling, and sweet.
Wednesday 3 December: Wines of the Levant: Lebanon and Israel [monthly glass pour feature] $35.
Along with Egypt, we can thank the Levant for the continuous cultivation of wine in the West. Since then, their vineyards have gone through wide swings in size and quality. Today, a new generation of forward-thinking winemakers are trying to remake the region. Their many excellent wines are severely underrepresented in the US; while a few are already here, we'll do our best to track down a wide grouping of the rest (~15-20) at this cool tasting.
Wednesday 10 December: Annual Champagne Tasting $50.
In this, our 13th annual Champagne event, we’ll continue to showcase the stylistic differences between ‘family fizz’ and the Grand Marques, with a wide selection of the very best from each – about 35-40 Champagnes in all. Always one of our best events of the year, not to be missed – and just in time for the holidays!
