Upcoming Events & Tastings
Wine Tastings are informal and are not seated. Reserve your spot and join us during the appointed times up to 30 minutes before the event ends, and you will be able to taste through the full lineup.
Wine Classes are seated events, and are usually limited to 10 people per class. Please try to arrive a few minutes before class begins in order to get settled and allow enough time to fully explore the wines.
Cheese and/or charcuterie will be offered to pair to the wines.
Please refrain from wearing perfumes, colognes, lotions, or body oils to these events. Competing fragrances can alter your perception of how the wines smell and taste, and we want to showcase them as they’re meant to be!
Call 504-227-3888, stop by the store or, sign up online to reserve your spot!

| Domaine Huet Vouvray Moelleux Class Wednesday, May 28th 6:00-7:30/7:45 $100 per person Domaine Huet is a legendary producer making wines that can age for decades. While the wines are enjoyable upon release, they are meant to age, meaning most people never get to experience the wines at their best. Thanks mostly to a library release from the domaine we have a fantastic assortment of their Moelleux wines from, inarguably, some of the best vineyards in Vouvray. Moelleux translates as ‘soft’ or ‘sweet’ and they have residual sugar but less than what we think of as dessert wines. A Bordeaux website says “The French term can also be used to describe a dry wine whose fat dominates its acidity.” In some vintages, Huet produces two versions of their Moelleux from each vineyard, denoting some as Première Trie (first sort or first pick). We will greet you with their sparkling wine and then move on to a wine nerd’s dream of single vineyard comparisons, Première Trie and ‘regular’ Moelleux from the same vintage, plus half of the wines are from the 2003 vintage. You’re unlikely to see an opportunity like this again. Please join us!

| Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Class Wednesday June 4th – 6:00-7:30/7:45 $68 per person |
| This class is SOLD OUT. We do have a WAIT LIST. If you would like to be add, please use the link below to register. Although Marco de Grazia released his first vintages of these wines in 2002, most of the vines date back decades and some are pre-phylloxera (140+ years old). Join us for a deep-dive into Etna, a region Marco calls “The Burgundy of the Mediterranean.” We are lucky to have access to wines with some age on them and this should allow us to see more of what they will become than you can with the current releases. Marco was a pioneer of bottling wines from contrade (single vineyards) and of putting them in Burgundy-shaped bottles. Etna reds are often compared to Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo but let’s decide for ourselves after tasting. We will begin with three whites from the 2019 vintage, which should offer good insight into the terroir. Seven reds will follow, most of them from the 2018 vintage for more terroir insight but there will be a vintage comparison as well with 2018 and 2020 versions of the same wine. LINK TO REGISTER > |
