Who it’s for: Cabernet drinkers ready to broaden the map, students working on structured tasting, and WSET and CMS candidates.
Cabernet Sauvignon is the wine world's great traveler. It ripens reliably almost anywhere warm enough, holds its identity across wildly different climates, and still manages to taste like the place it was grown. That combination is why it ended up planted on every continent that makes wine, and why almost every serious region has a version worth trying.
This class puts several of them side by side. Bordeaux, where the grape earned its reputation. Napa, where it took on new proportions. Plus expressions from other corners of the wine world that hold their own with the classics and rarely make it into the same conversation. Along the way we cover why climate, soil, and winemaking choices push Cabernet in such different directions, and how to recognize where a wine is from before you glance at the label.
