SUMMARY:South Africa vs France: The Wine Class
DESCRIPTION:The first South African wines we tasted came shortly after the fall of apartheid. Even then\, the potential was obvious—ancient soils\, a Mediterranean climate\, high elevations\, and a wealth of old vines. A rare combination in any winegrowing region. But it wasn’t until around 2010 that that potential truly began to take root. Today\, names like Swartland\, Walker Bay\, and Paarl should be on every wine lover’s radar. \nIn this class\, we pit some of our top picks from South Africa against the classics of France! Let’s see how this up-and-coming wine region holds up to the most famous wine country in the world! \n

SUMMARY:Germanic Wines: Austria\, Germany\, and Beyond!
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nStep off the beaten path and into the heart of Central Europe’s most compelling wine regions. In this class\, we’ll dive deep into the wines of Austria\, Switzerland\, and Germany—three countries that share more than a linguistic root. Their vineyards are shaped by ancient rivers\, steep hillsides\, and centuries of cultural exchange. \n\n\n\nSwiss wines remain elusive outside their borders\, yet insiders know: these high-altitude bottles offer purity and precision like few others. Austrian wines are a study in extremes—blazing acidity\, bold reds\, and whites with structure and soul. And then there’s Germany. Revered for Riesling\, yes—but there’s far more to discover beneath the surface. \n\n\n\nThis isn’t just a tasting—it’s a reeducation. Most Americans rarely get access to these wines. In this class\, you will. Join us and see why sommeliers\, collectors\, and wine scholars are obsessed with the Germanic wine world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Old World vs. New World Wines
DESCRIPTION:The deepest-held secret in wine is called terroir. Thousands of sommeliers worship terroir as the spark behind all great wines. Others say it’s a myth cooked up by a gaggle of medieval monks and juiced up by a coterie of modern marketing mavens. The one thing that is obvious to all in the know: there is a HUGE difference between the wines of Europe and the wines of America and other New World wine regions. \nIn this class\, we pit the classics of Europe against our best. We are talking Napa Valley VS Bordeaux\, New Zealand VS Burgundy\, and more. Who will win this eternal match-up? The class will decide\, and –who knows– maybe the wine instructor will pull a special bottle of wine from the cellar to finish the class!
