Seminars make a GREAT gift!

Prices include the seminar, wines, snack of cheeses and pâté, and printed materials. Participants also receive special discounts on the featured wines.  Classes are taught by proprietor/winemaker Scott Paul Wright, whose passion for Burgundy was his inspiration for making wine in the first place, and for launching his Burgundy import company in 2005.

Due to last-minute cancellations, we have had to change our payment policy for our seminars. We now take payment at the time of your reservation and will give refunds if you cancel more than 72 hours ahead. If you cancel within 72 hours or do not show up to the class, we will not provide you with a refund unless we can fill your spot.

Seminar Description:

White Burgundy – From Chablis to the Côte de Beaune to the Mâconnais, the Chardonnay grape does some delicious and wonderful things in Burgundy. The styles range from crisp & mineral-intense to rich & succulent, and all points in between. In this class we’ll explore all of the major white wine regions and villages, delve into the viticultural and winemaking techniques, and of course taste six yummy examples along the way.
