Quiet on the Coast: Esoteric West Coast Producers

  • The Oenophile Institute 1295 W Spring St Smyrna, GA, 30080 United States (map)

Perfect for adventurous drinkers, industry-curious minds, and anyone drawn to wines that reward attention rather than demand it.

This class highlights a tightly curated selection of small, esoteric West Coast producers featured at Sommlympics 2026. The kinds of wines that rarely chase attention but tend to hold it.

Sourced from California, Oregon, and Washington, these bottles emphasize site expression, thoughtful farming, and winemaking choices that favor restraint over recognition. We’ll explore why these producers resonate with sommeliers, how they challenge mainstream narratives of West Coast wine, and what makes them feel both distinctly American and refreshingly individual. Expect comparative tasting, context-rich discussion, and a glimpse into the margins where innovation often lives.
