Tasting Themes
We can customize your tasting experience based on your interests and preferences.
Here are just several examples of suggested tasting themes.
Do you want to explore a particular wine region like Napa Valley, Bordeaux, Tuscany, or the Finger Lakes, for example, just to name a few? In the regional tasting them, we will dive deeper into the different aspects of a particular wine region that make it unique in the world of wine. Or, we can even do a cross regional comparison so that you can better understand what makes Napa Valley Cabernets different from Bordeaux Cabernets. We can even dive into the nuances of terroir and winemaking styles across different regions to explore what makes a New World wine different from an Old World wine.
Have you ever wondered why you like Pinot Noirs from Oregon vs. Burgundy? Or, why Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley are big and bold as compared to Cabernets from Bordeaux. Perhaps you are perplexed why a Pinot Noir is light in color and body, yet has a beautiful bouquet that reminds you or rose pedals, yet a Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley smacks you in the face with big, bold fruity notes that evolve and linger on your palate. Maybe you prefer bubbly wine and would like to explore the difference between Champagne and California Brut? We can customize a varietal tasting to the wines you are most interested and discuss the unique varietal, terroirs and winemaking styles that yield very different aromatic and flavor profiles and find the ones that best suit your palate.
