Blind Tasting
We won't blindfold you, but we will pour the wines "blind" — meaning you won't be told what you're tasting at first. Hone your deductive tasting skills and learn how to tell the difference between grapes like Pinot Noir and Tempranillo or Riesling and Chenin Blanc. Perfect for: those in the trade and sommeliers, or consumers interested in learning this skill.

A Tour of France
Learn about the major wine regions of France, from Alsace to Languedoc-Rousillon and everything in between. Traditionally, this has been one of the most important countries for wine in the world, and understanding the "classic" regions, grapes and wine styles is fundamental to a solid wine knowledge. (Not to mention, they're good wines!) Perfect for: those in the trade, or as a baseboard for a growing love of wine.
