]]> Description

Delicate in the vineyard, finicky in the cellar—Pinot Noir is a heartbreaker. Yet when it’s done right, it produces some of the most beautiful and expressive wines in the world. It delivers complexity, elegance, perfume, and emotion like few other grapes can. That’s why winemakers fall for it—only to be crushed again and again by its demands.

This class is your ticket to exploring Pinot’s personality—its elegance, nuance, and undeniable charm—while uncovering why it tastes so different from Burgundy to Oregon, how oak or stainless steel shapes its style, and how climate, altitude, and soil leave their signature in every sip. From silky to savory, delicate to daring, you’ll discover just how expressive—and unpredictable—this heartbreak grape can be.

This is an advanced tasting using the WSET Level 3 SAT (Systematic Approach to Tasting), designed to challenge your palate, sharpen your descriptors, and deepen your analytical skills. Whether you’re preparing for certification or simply want to taste Pinot Noir like a pro, this session will expand your appreciation of the world’s most iconic white wine.

From The Art Inside the Bottle, we bring a new chapter—one rooted in the ancient origins of wine. In Greece and Rome, wine held divine power, fueling celebration, prophecy, and devotion. The gods didn’t simply bless vineyards—they drank from them.

In this experience, we’ll explore how mythology, sculpture, and ritual shaped wine across time. We’ll uncover Dionysus and Bacchus through marble and myth, and follow the evolution of vessels—from amphora and ceramic to concrete and glass—each one influencing how wine tasted, aged, and was understood. Taste five wines from Greece, Italy, Georgia, and Spain, each thoughtfully paired with multiple courses crafted by the Catering Works Executive Chef.

Travel along the sparkling shores of Southern Europe—no passport required. In this immersive tasting class, we’ll dive into the coastal wines of five iconic regions: Portugal, Croatia, Spain, Italy, and Greece. These wines capture the spirit of the Mediterranean: sun-kissed freshness, bright acidity, and a deep connection to land and sea.

But it’s not all sunshine and sea views—these wines are forged by nature’s challenges. Think rocky, wind-swept islands, sunbaked volcanic soils, and steep cliffside vineyards. The result? Bold, expressive wines born from resilience, crafted by winemakers who coax beauty from adversity.

You’ll enjoy a curated flight of wines showcasing native grapes and diverse coastal styles—from zesty Portuguese whites and minerally island-grown Assyrtiko to savory reds from Spain and hidden gems from the Dalmatian coast. To elevate the tasting, we’ll pair each pour with Mediterranean bites inspired by the region—flavorful, seasonal pairings that bring the coast to your palate.

Whether you’re dreaming of your next Mediterranean escape or love discovering wines with a sense of place and story, this class offers a flavorful voyage—one sip (and bite) at a time.
