Class 1 Advanced Pinot Noir & Chardonnay Study with Professor Steve Taylor

Alright folks, we’re going back to school! Lucky for you, in this school, we drink wine.

You may have taken a Pinot Noir/Chardonnay 101 course before, but we’re leveling up with this one. Professor Steve
Taylor has put together a comprehensive study of these two varietals that puts a Master Somm Diploma course to
shame. This is the first class in a series of three distinct courses to further your proficiency and palate when it comes to California Pinot Noir and Chardonnay!

Below is a breakdown of the first class with the wines you’ll be tasting in this class.

Class #1: The Story Behind the Wine
Professor Steve will lead the group through a tasting and share stories about the wine, and the people behind it.
You’ll expand your palate and your understanding of the history and significance of these changemakers. Wines from Lucia, Peay Vineyards, and Raen Winery are on the syllabus!
