  • Cool Climate Wines

    This class was incredibly helpful to learn much beyond the basics of cool climate wines, and very enjoyable. The space was gorgeous, the host was very skilled and you knew he was a master of their craft. Some people were more knowledgeable already, and others had no clue (us), but we left with lots of new information we still remember, cherish even a year later!
