Editing is always the hardest part, whether it’s shaping a manuscript or curating a wine list. Each year, more than 20,000 fine wines are released. Of these, around 3,000 meet our standards for use in any of our classes. From that pool, about 500 stand out enough to be selected for our Advanced Wine Course or luxury tasting experiences like this one. And now comes the hardest edit of all—selecting just seven that fully embody what this class is about. We don’t run this class every year because it’s a challenge to coordinate, but when we do, the result is ...

Obscure, Rare, and Shockingly Delicious. Is it deliciously exotic—or exotically delicious? Either way, we’re popping corks on wines that most people have never heard of… but won’t soon forget. In this class, the rule is simple: the more off-the-radar, the better. We’ve crisscrossed the globe—figuratively and literally—to track down wines that defy the mainstream. Some are from regions you didn’t know made wine. Some are crafted from grapes you’ve never seen on a label. A few are both. Those are the real gems. These wines aren’t just rare curiosities. They’re genuinely, thrillingly good. That’s the bar. We’re not here to ...

What does the future of wine taste like? In this seven-wine class, we explore how climate change and shifting values are altering vineyards across Europe and the Americas—and how smart adaptation is improving the results. From heat-resistant grapes and site rethinking to biodynamic farming and modern pest-management strategies, we will taste wines shaped by real decisions being made right now. This is a practical, optimistic look at innovation in the vineyard and cellar, designed for both enthusiasts and professionals who want clarity—not speculation—about what comes next.

A large part of Bordeaux lies along the rivers Gironde and Garonne, and the right bank lies to the north and right of the Dordogne River, which feeds into the Gironde. A portion of the region between the rivers is named Entre Deux Mers - literally, between two seas. Many of the finest wine estates in the world are located in Aquitaine, but they account for only a small percentage of the 120,000 hectares of vines in the Gironde. The vines are thought to date back 2,000 years to when the Romans dominated the area. In this class, we discover ...

This BYO dinner is built with one grape in mind: Nebbiolo. Not just Barolo, but the entire Nebbiolo family—Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, Alto Piemonte, and any serious, tannin-driven expression that rewards food. The menu is deliberately structured around fat, salt, and umami: slow-braised meats, aged and washed-rind cheeses, mushrooms, polenta, cured pork, and bitter greens designed to soften tannin, sharpen aromatics, and let acidity do its work. Everything is served at room temperature, meant to linger on the table and evolve alongside the wine rather than compete with it. Bring something honest, structured, and Nebbiolo-based, and the food will do what ...

Saved From Extinction explores seven European grape varieties that once stood on the edge of disappearance—and the modern winemakers who brought them back. These grapes survived not through accident or nostalgia, but through deliberate choices: vineyard recovery, technical innovation, and a refusal to let market forces dictate what deserved to endure. Through guided tastings and a focused lecture, the class examines the historical pressures that nearly erased these varieties, alongside the winemaking decisions that restored them to relevance. Students will explore how changes in farming, fermentation, and style reshaped each grape’s future, and how some found renewed life in the ...

Most wine drinkers know the usual grapes. This class is about everything beyond them. Hidden Gems explores grape varieties that rarely appear on wine lists but remain essential to understanding wine’s past—and its future. Some were once widely planted before falling out of fashion. Others survived only because their regions never standardized. All offer distinctive structure, flavor, and identity that mainstream grapes no longer provide. You’ll taste wines you may never have encountered before, each chosen for what it reveals about place, history, and how different wine can be when expectations are removed. This is a class for curious drinkers ...
