Upcoming Seminar Schedule

Join us for part 10 of our 10 part wine seminar series where we uncork the stories behind 80 iconic wines from the world’s most celebrated regions.

Saving the best for last -- we're having a Napa/Sonoma vs Paso Robles showdown where we'll be tasting top tier examples of key varietal wines from each region side by side and explain the terroir factors that shape the distinctly different personalities of these wines and decide which region reigns supreme (but we already know the answer is under our feet, right? )

Join in anytime! Each seminar stands alone so if you've missed one or more of the series segments, you won't be lost. We'll be offering this series on a rotating basis so you'll be able to catch up on the other stops in the near future.

Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a curious enthusiast, you'll deepen your knowledge, refine your palate, and gain a deeper appreciation of the artistry in every bottle. Explore the globe, one wine at a time — no passport required.

Join us for an authoritative deep dive into the wine regions of the Willamette Valley. Renowned as one of the finest Pinot Noir growing regions in the world, Willamette Valley has been evolving with new appellations and a growing reputation for equally outstanding Chardonnay. Discover the Pacific Northwest's cool climate paradise for these Burgundian stars.

Join us for a deep dive into the origins, expression, and global expressions of this noble French grape variety. As both leading man and sidekick in some of the most respected and expressive wines in the world, we'll explore the depth and breadth of Merlot from its origins in France through its travels around the globe.

Join us for a deep dive taste-and-learn seminar on the wines and regions of one of the oldest wine growing regions in the Americas. Chile is often seen as a recent entrant onto the international wine scene, but its wine making history goes all the way back to the earliest explorations of the New World. Phylloxera free, and and the intersection of a unique combination of ocean influence, mountain landscape, and surprising latitude, these factors come together to make Chile a "Goldilocks" just-right paradise for everything from Pinot noir to Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah within this narrow strip of land between the Andes and the Pacific.
