October Theme:
Schist Creek
Bébés, our cups runneth over with schist! What’s schist, you say? Schiefer in German and schiste in French, the term refers to the rock (specifically slate, but occasionally shale) and its parallel alignments of minerals 'folded in like cheese' — resisting erosion, retaining heat, and offering good drainage. The result is a prominent terroir with reinforced acidity, and effectively ripened grapes. You know, juuuust pretentious enough.
Before you can say “This wine is aw-ful!” you’ll be demanding another glass (and there’s nothing wrong with asking for what you deserve.)
We love this Schist journey for you.

Led by our experienced Sommeliers, each class offers a personal touch, featuring a tasting of six wines paired with light fare (unless otherwise specified).
