Burgundy vs. The World

Burgundy has long been the benchmark for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Winemakers across the globe have chased its finesse, and some have come remarkably close. A few may even beat it.

In this class, each Burgundy goes head to head, served blind, with a challenger from elsewhere in the world made in the same spirit. Can you tell which is which, and which do you prefer? A fun way to sharpen your palate and discover how Burgundian style travels.

Class is 2 hours long, with an interactive format and questions welcomed by sommelier Vitalii Dascaliuc.

What you can expect:

• 1 sparkling welcome wine
• 6 wines in blind pairs, white and red
• Palate-cleansing bread and cheese

What you will learn:

• What makes Burgundy the reference point: terroir, climats, and classification
• How Pinot Noir and Chardonnay express themselves in cool climates worldwide
• Where to find Burgundian character outside of Burgundy
