Field Notes from Wine Summer Camp
This summer I had the opportunity to attend two professional immersion programs that, despite their names, are not exactly summer camp. I began in New York's Finger Lakes at Riesling Camp before heading west to Oregon for Pinot Camp.
The names may invite a certain amount of skepticism from anyone over the age of twelve, but the programs themselves are among the most engaging educational experiences in American wine. Participants spend several days moving between vineyards, wineries, seminars, and panel discussions focused on the subjects that shape a region's identity: geology, soils, climate, viticulture, and winemaking decisions. They are designed for wine professionals and draw attendees from across the country.
This summer's regional classes are inspired in part by those experiences.
Over the course of two months we'll visit these two anchors of American wine, using the wines in our glasses to explore the conditions and choices that define each place. While Riesling and Pinot Noir remain central to the story of their respective regions, neither class will be limited to a single variety. Instead, each tasting is intended to provide a broader snapshot of the region while focusing on a handful of themes that emerged repeatedly during my time there: growing conditions, producer philosophies, and the different ways wineries interpret the opportunities and challenges of place.
Classes take place on two Sundays every month from 3:30-5:00. Choose the date you prefer!
PART I — The Many Faces of Oregon
Pinot Noir will be at the center of our discussion, as it is at the center of Oregon's modern wine identity, but the class will also look beyond the state's flagship grape to better understand the broader context of Oregon wine. Along the way we'll discuss producer styles, climate, and the influence of the Willamette Valley's famously varied soils.

PART II — An Introduction to the Finger Lakes
Riesling remains the lens through which many people first encounter the Finger Lakes, and for good reason. We'll spend time with the grape and the producers who have helped define the region's reputation, while also exploring other wines that help tell the larger story of New York wine today such as unexpected varieties and irreverent styles. Particular attention will be paid to the lakes themselves and the growing conditions that make this one of North America's most distinctive cool-climate regions.

As a special treat, we will taste a personal cuvée created during a blending seminar to see if we can identify qualities such as acid and sugar levels in a blind wine.
