For curious thinkers, blind tasting fans, and anyone who wants to understand wine not just by flavor but by intention.
Led by Janeen Jason of VinoTeca, renowned educator and famously sharp blind taster, this masterclass explores wine through the lens of intention. Using a fully blind format, we’ll taste 8 wines grouped into five thematic categories, each representing a different mindset behind how and why a wine was made. From philosophical, process-driven bottles to highly controlled, technique-focused wines; from crowd-pleasing market wines to experimental outliers and deeply contextual styles, this class invites you to feel your way through wine’s many personalities. The goal isn’t judgment, it’s recognition. By the end, you’ll have clearer language for what you gravitate toward, what surprises you, and why certain wines resonate more deeply than others.
