REMINDER: Wine Class Sale! 

Next four classes will be offered at just $30 (was $65) each. The classes are limited in size so the sale will be on a first-come first-served basis.

Monday, June 17th, Noble Wine Grape Series: Cabernet Sauvignon, 7-9pm, $30, regular price $65

We begin this series of classes that will explore the noble wine grapes by profiling Cabernet Sauvignon; a grape that will lead any list of top wine grapes. When we consider the finest red wines of the world Cabernet Sauvignon is usually involved whether it’s Bordeaux, Napa Valley, Australia or Washington state. But Cab can also produce perfectly good value-priced wines, which is not so easy for many other grapes such as Pinot Noir. In the class we will learn how this versatile varietal does it as we taste through some extraordinary examples.

Uncovering the Mysteries of Burgundy Series
Part One: Wines of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Monday 6/10/13 (7-9pm) regular price $65

Let’s be honest, Burgundy is not an easy region to understand. Too often I see my customer’s eyes glaze over while they’re trying to select a wine from there. And, if it makes you feel any better, many folks who work in the wine trade aren’t any more enlightened about these wines. That is why an organization of the French government (SOPEXA) asked me to create a class designed to educate the wine trade on these great wines. This class is the result and I have been using it to de-mystify the wines of Burgundy for both consumers and the wine trade for over 20 years.

Burgundy, one of the greatest wine regions on the planet, is too complicated to take on all at once so in each class I will cover just one of its major districts. I will explain the history of the place and the appellation system that governs it so it will all make sense. And, of course, we will drink some of the best wines Burgundy has to offer.

The first class covers the red wines made around the city of Nuits-Saint-Georges, which are among my favorites. No prior knowledge of the region or of wines at all is necessary.

Chatter Creek winery was founded in 1996 by Gordon Rawson, whose vision was to make world-class wines that showcase the unique and varied terroir of Washington State.  Chatter Creek red wines are small lot products from vineyards where Gordon works hand-in-hand with the growers to obtain the best possible fruit. The fruit is gently handled, and fermented in small one-ton fermenters. Chatter Creek wines are aged in seasoned barrels so as to not overwhelm the subtle nuances of the terroir. Gentle technique in the cellar produces elegant wines that are balanced, with classic old world style, and containing new world fruit and finesse.

Lapostolle was founded by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet in 1994. The Marnier Lapostolle family, founders and owners of the world-renowned liqueur Grand Marnier, is famous for producing spirits and liqueurs, but the family has also been involved in winemaking for generations.

In creating Lapostolle, the family has pursued the same uncompromising approach to quality that made Grand Marnier a global success. Its objective is as simple as it is ambitious: to create world-class wines using French expertise and the superb terroirs of Chile

Today, Lapostolle owns 370 hectares in three different vineyards and produce a total of 200.000 cases spread over Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenère, and Syrah.

Lapostolle is distributed in more than 60 countries around the world.
