This class is intended for wine students with a good base knowledge and enthusiasts looking to learn more.

Over the past 40 years, a handful of vintages in the U.S. have risen above the rest—moments when winemakers whispered they just knew. In this immersive, one-time-only event, we’ll unravel what makes a vintage truly great in the U.S.—from drought years that gave us haunting intensity to cooler seasons that made acidity sing.

We’ll taste benchmark bottles from iconic producers and sleeper estates alike, dissect the conditions that defined the wines, and learn how to read a vintage like a pro—because in wine, timing isn’t everything… but it’s close.

This is not just a tasting. It’s a curated journey through time, terroir, and triumph.
