This class focuses on two great wine regions: the Willamette Valley of Oregon and Washington’s Columbia Valley. It’s a poorly kept secret that we adore these wines. In this class, you will learn why. The Pinot Noirs, the Cabernets, and the Syrahs are some of the greatest money can buy. While this class focuses on the more pricey bottles, we will highlight the extraordinary fact that wines from the Pacific Northwest –especially Washington– offer great value, too.
