(And read on to discover what makes our tastings the most unique!)

The Wine Studio offers free tastings each Saturday from 12-6pm.  While we always announce the theme, the wines themselves are usually tasted blindly, to allow participants to taste and judge the wines on their own merit - and to eliminate the often unconscious bias of “oh, I like that label” or “I don’t like {insert grape name here}”.  It is our goal to create a learning experience with each tasting and to equip you with tools you can use to best describe what you like (and perhaps more importantly, what you don’t like!).  This means we use maps to talk about where the grapes are grown, how the wine is made and the inspiring stories behind its production.  We also have aroma wheels handy so we can begin to describe what we perceive.  The better we can communicate our experience, the more likely we are to find wines we thoroughly enjoy! 

 

So come on down and check us out...we're always happy to pour for you!
