Autumn Wine School
This fall, we’re spending three months exploring three very different corners of France.
We’ll start in the Loire, looking at how a region with such a long history is continuing to change. In October, we’ll reconsider Burgundy through the producers and places that make it so interesting, without getting too caught up in the hierarchy and prestige that can surround it. And in November, we’ll go deep into Jura, opening some special bottles and pairing them with some of the foods that make Jura such a great wine region.
These classes are part of our fall collaboration with Paris Dining Club, alongside their Autumn Series of chef-prepared dinner boxes.
If you happen to order one or all of the dinner boxes, the classes are a chance to take that exploration a little further. The wines we’ll pour at Wine School are different from the pairing recommendations for the dinners, so there’s no expectation that you need to have one to enjoy the other. They’re two separate ways of exploring the same regions.
Each class includes a flight of four wines and a guided tasting with Sarina. For the November Jura class, we’ll also have a selection of classic Jura pairings to share, like Comté with Vin Jaune and other regional specialties that show why these wines are so good at the table.
Wine School takes place Sundays from 3:30–5:00 PM.
You can join us for one month or come along for the whole series. Each class is offered twice, with the same wines and material on both dates. Space is limited to 20 people per class.
The Loire: A Region in Motion
We’ve previously spent time getting to know the Loire Valley with an in-depth series covering every corner of this wild river valley. This time, we’re looking at it a little differently.
Why does one part of the Loire make Sauvignon Blanc while another is devoted to Chenin Blanc? How is it able to produce every style of wine from sparkling, to sweet and everything in between? We’ll taste across the region to explore how grape varieties became associated with particular places, how producers are pushing against, or redefining, those traditions, and how a changing climate is beginning to reshape the wines of this famously cool-climate region.
This is a class about the Loire as it exists now: diverse, in many ways intimate, and evolving.
We’ll taste a selection of wines from across the Loire while talking about:
Why particular grape varieties thrive in different parts of the region
How producers influence the way we understand a place
The tension between tradition and experimentation
How climate change is affecting ripening, acidity, harvest dates, and wine style
Where the Loire might be headed next
No previous wine knowledge is required. Come curious, thirsty, and ready to taste.
This class is offered twice in September.

Burgundy, Reconsidered
Burgundy is one of those wine regions that can feel like it was designed to keep people out. The names are complicated, the hierarchy is complicated, and the most famous bottles are wildly expensive. But underneath all of that is something much simpler: really good wines that reflect where they come from and are meant to be enjoyed at the table.
We’ll taste wines from Beaujolais, Chablis, and the Mâconnais, and talk about why these places make such different wines, what gives them a sense of place, and how producers shape the way we experience that place.
We’ll also talk about Burgundy as a pairing wine. These are wines that make sense at the table, whether you’re drinking a bottle of Chablis with dinner, Beaujolais with something grilled, or a bottle of Pouilly-Loché with a plate of cheese.
The goal is not to memorize Burgundy’s hierarchy. It’s to understand why the region is so interesting and to leave with a better sense of how to find wines you actually want to drink.
We’ll taste four wines while talking about:
What we mean when we talk about a wine having a sense of place
Why different parts of Burgundy are suited to different grapes and styles
What Beaujolais, Chablis, and the Mâconnais can teach us about Burgundy
Producers who are making thoughtful, place-driven wines
Why Burgundy is such a good pairing wine
How to find interesting Burgundy without spending a fortune
This class is offered twice in October.

Jura, Up Close
Jura is small, strange, and one of the most fascinating wine regions in France. The wines are made in tiny quantities, many of them are difficult to find, and the best bottles tend to disappear quickly. For our November Wine School, we’re going a little deeper.
We’ve pulled together four bottles that we’re particularly excited to open, including some allocated wines that don’t often make it onto our regular list. We’ll spend the evening tasting through the wines of Jura and getting into what makes them so distinctive, from Savagnin and Chardonnay to oxidative winemaking, Vin Jaune, and the region’s unusual red varieties.
Instead of our usual Wine School snacks, we’ll be serving a selection of Jura-inspired pairings designed specifically for the wines we’re tasting. This is a more in-depth Wine School for people who want to spend a little more time with a region and taste some wines that are hard to come by.
We’ll taste four wines while talking about:
What makes Jura so different from the rest of France
Savagnin, Chardonnay, Poulsard, Trousseau, and Pinot Noir
Sous voile and oxidative winemaking
Vin Jaune and the traditions behind it
Producers who are shaping the modern Jura
Why Jura wines can be so good with food
How the wines of Jura are changing as the region gains a wider audience
This class is offered twice in November.
