Rosé season is here, but we’re not doing poolside basics… we’re going full wine nerd. Join us for a 2 hour deep dive into the wildly diverse world of rosé. This is not a “they all taste the same” lineup. We’re pulling 6 completely different expressions that showcase just how far this category stretches across grapes, regions, and winemaking styles.
Think everything from crisp, mineral driven classics to deeper, more structured rosés that drink like light reds. Different grapes, different climates, different techniques... totally different experiences. We’ll break down how rosé is made, why it tastes the way it does, and how to confidently talk about it, pair it, and actually understand what’s in your glass.
If you’ve ever thought rosé was simple, this class will change your mind. Come thirsty, come curious, and get ready to taste rosé in a whole new way!
