Next Saturday! 4pm! Deep dive into Vermentino with me!

Join me next Saturday for Vermentino Grape Class! Try something new, maybe meet someone new… win-win!

I lead a Grape Class each month. In the past, I’ve done Chardonnay, Nebbiolo, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and more. This month’s grape is Vermentino!

These classes ALWAYS sell out, but for some reason I haven’t had many sign ups for this class. My guess is that this grape sounds somewhat foreign to many… so I am here to convince you to give it a shot!

First of all, I think there is never any loss to trying a new-to-you wine grape - worst case scenario is that you find out it’s not your go-to. Best case scenario is that you find your new favorite wine that you just can’t wait to explore even further! Medium-case scenario is that you try a bunch of fun wines at a long family-style table of like-minded people and leave with a new friend or contact!

If you like Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, or Albariño… while Vermentino is NOT THESE THINGS(!) I can almost bet you’ll like Vermentino, too. It’s a versatile grape and I cannot wait to share all the different styles I have in the line up… we’ll be traveling to Sardinia, Australia, the Rhone Valley, Napa Valley, and more! This photo is only a few of the wines I’ll be serving - because I have to keep some element of surprise, right?!

SO! If you’ve read this far, here’s your sign to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. I promise these classes are a blast and you will learn something useful!

Treat yourself! I pride myself on having a *very good* wine list at very approachable prices. I adore finding good quality bottles for less than $10 by the glass. Now, I offer the best of both worlds - still a main list with affordability & quality at the forefront, but now a Select Wine Menu as well.
