SUMMARY:Pinot Noir From Unexpected Places
DESCRIPTION:Due to its thin skin and fickle nature\, Pinot Noir – the “heartbreak grape” – was long thought to flourish in Burgundy France\, and only in Burgundy France. That paradigm has shifted\, and even the most snobbish of Francophiles now must admit that great Pinot Noir can be cultivated and made in Oregon\, parts of California\, and even New Zealand. But the wine world is a big place\, and enterprising vintners all over the globe are trying their hand at Pinot. \nJoin Wine Guide Jim as we go on a global expedition through five wines to find Pinot Noir in unexpected places. We’ll make stops in South America\, where cool climate Pinots can be found in Chile and Argentina\, in Australia\, where Pinot is thriving in the West (Adelaide) and South (Tasmania)\, and in Europe\, where one can now find beautiful Pinot in Germany and Italy. Let’s find out if it is time for a new region to join the ranks of Pinot Noir royalty! \nLight cheese and charcuterie will be provided to pair with the wines. \nFeatured wines are offered at a 10% discount for attendees (15% for wine club members!).

Join Retail Manager José and dive into the “why’s” behind our seasonal wine cravings. \nDid you know that “cozy” isn’t just reserved for big\, heavy red wines?

SUMMARY:Big Boy Italian Reds
DESCRIPTION:Italy produces some of the world’s most distinctive and powerful red wines. Join Wine Guide Mark as we travel from the warm Mediterranean south to the hills of central and northeastern Italy\, exploring how climate\, elevation\, soil\, and indigenous grapes shape a wine’s expression. We’ll also examine winemaking techniques such as extended maceration\, barrel aging\, and the use of dried or partially dried grapes to add concentration\, richness\, and complexity. \nWe’ll compare Italy’s regional traditions with modern winemaking influences\, discuss how these wines evolve with age\, and consider why some are best enjoyed young while others develop for decades. Regional cuisines—including braised meats\, grilled dishes\, aged cheeses\, tomato-based sauces\, cured meats\, and rustic pastas—will help explain why Italian reds come alive at the table. Throughout the tasting\, we’ll compare structure\, acidity\, tannin\, fruit\, and alcohol to see how five regions interpret a “big” red wine. By the end\, the goal is not simply to taste five powerful Italian reds\, but to understand why they taste the way they do and where they belong at the table. \nLight cheese and charcuterie will be provided to pair with the wines. \nFeatured wines are offered at a 10% discount for attendees (15% for wine club members!).

SUMMARY:The Gift of Wine: A Guide to Selecting Wines for Gifts and Occasions
DESCRIPTION:Gift giving and holiday dinners are coming up and it can be tricky to figure out the right wines to choose. We’ve all been there: \n– You’re invited to a dinner with a wide range of dishes being served. \n– There’s a wine lover on your gift list but you’re not sure what they like. \n– It’s a potluck so there’s no way to know what everyone is bringing. \n– You’re going to a White Elephant or Secret Santa party and don’t know who will end up with each gift. \nEliminate the stress of selecting wines with some insider tips and tricks from Wine Guide Michael while enjoying five great wines for gifting. We’ll learn how to effectively pair wines with people and occasions. Not only ideal for the holidays\, these strategies can help make your life easier year-round. This class can help you become “the one who always gives the best gifts”. \nLight cheese and charcuterie will be provided to pair with the wines. \n  \nFeatured wines are offered at a 10% discount for attendees (15% for wine club members).

SUMMARY:Santa Barbara Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:Santa Barbara – the “American Riviera” – has become a world-class wine region over the past fifty years. It is home to a surprisingly broad range of terroirs – from the warmer inland reaches of the Santa Ynez Valley\, which produces lush and opulent wines from Bordeaux and Rhone varieties\, to the windswept Northern Santa Maria Valley\, where modern commercial viticulture in the area first returned after Prohibition\, to the coastal Sta. Rita Hills\, a unique East/West transverse valley with a cool ocean breeze that produces ethereal Pinot Noir\, crisp Chardonnay\, and spicy Syrah. \nJoin Wine Guide Jim as we go beyond Sideways and dive deeply into this remarkable place. We’ll learn about Father Junipero Serra and wine made from the “Mission” grape in the 1780’s\, French exploration and viticulture in the 1880’s\, and the modern Santa Barbara renaissance that began the 1970’s. Along the way\, we’ll taste five examples that showcase the diversity of a place with wines as beautiful as the countryside. \nLight cheese and charcuterie will be provided to pair with the wines. \nFeatured wines are offered at a 10% discount for attendees (15% for wine club members!).
