Winter 2026
Off The Beaten Path Spain
Our “OTBP” Series has become a popular one. Wines that are “Off The Beaten Path” are not your mainstream choices, but can be surprising finds. And Spain is loaded with them. Regions like Toro, Mencia, Alicante and La Mancha may not be as famous as the worshipped regions of Rioja and Jerez, but they have “terroir” and grapes that speak for themselves. And they can also be some incredible values! Join us for an evening of fun wines and tasty tapas while we cover some more territory on the Spanish wine map.

West Coast Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the grape that made the Burgundy region of France famous. The wines there are usually named after the village or the vineyard, and they definitely transfer the taste of the place to the glass. This grape takes on a different personality on the West Coast of United States – specifically California and Oregon. While temperatures may be a bit higher, the producers here benefit from a strong Pacific Ocean influence, leading to cool nights and fog in key regions. This helps to preserve Pinot’s inherent acidity while bringing that beautiful ripe fruit to the front. We’ll visit some of the best “terroirs” of the west and see how Pinot Noir shows off its “New World” attire!

Life is a Cabernet!
Here is another popular grape that we haven’t visited in awhile. And wow – do we have a LOT of new ones! Cabernet Sauvignon produces a wine that has earned its spot as one of the richest and fullest-bodied red wines in the world. It is a “red wine drinkers” favorite. The grape is a cross between the white sauvignon blanc and the red cabernet franc and has its origins in the Bordeaux region of France. But Cabernet Sauvignon is now growing well in other incredible “terroirs” outside of Europe – the most noteworthy of which include Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, and the United States! We will taste a variety of Cabs from around the world and sip them alongside some cabernet-friendly foods.

A Taste of Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Emilia-Romagna is considered one of the richest regions of Italy with regards to its gastronomic and wine-making traditions! The region lies in northern Italy, extending from the Apennine Mountains in the south to the Po River in the north. It is one of the most fertile and productive regions of Italy, thanks to the mitigating effect that the Adriatic Sea has on the coastal climate. Although the wines of the region are not as well-known as the wines of neighboring Tuscany, there are definitely some good finds! And we’ll have some traditional Italian treats to pair alongside.

Wines for Easter
Recommending wines for Easter dinner is like recommending wines for Thanksgiving. It’s really an open book, because the feast can include so many different flavors. Whereas Thanksgiving wines are the ultimate segue into cold weather and comforting indoor wines, Easter tends to be the segue into the rebirth of warmth, and the heavenly scents of spring. So I like to keep it light and colorful, with a focus on characteristics that mimic flowers, herbs and an overall “green” theme. As you are on the hunt for wines to accompany your family gathering, join us to taste an array of possibilities. Try something different! I mean, you never want to put all of your eggs in one basket.

Finger Lakes Single-Vineyard Rieslings
Hundreds of thousands of years in the making, the Finger Lakes were carved out by successive waves of glaciers that passed through the region. They left large and deep fresh water lakes and the soil deposits that have become gifts to our winemakers! Riesling is a stand-out for sure, and most wineries have a signature version that blends multiple lots of harvested grapes from around the Finger Lakes. But over time, certain vineyards have stood out among others. This has led to more bottlings of “SINGLE VINEYARD” wines that truly evoke a unique sense of place. Join us for this fun study of FLX terroir!
