WE’RE GROWING UP 

JOIN US ON FRIDAY, JUNE 16TH FOR OUR 2ND BIRTHDAY!

CELEBRATE WITH SPECIAL GLASS POURS, UNLIMITED CHEESE AND CHARCUTERIE, AND OYSTERS!

STANDING ROOM ONLY, SO BE PREPARED TO MINGLE & CONNECT WITH YOUR SALT & BUBBLES COMMUNITY!! (because, let’s be honest, this is really a celebration of YOU!)

We can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by!!! 

Jessica is one of our dearest friends and she makes some very exciting Burgundian Chardonnay and Beaujolais Gamay you will want to try! As a young winemaker exploring, developing, and learning, come and join us for an evening chatting all about Burgundy, French Wine, being a winemaker and more!

The class includes 1 pour of each of her wines, cheese and charcuterie, and Jess presenting her wines, her experience, and her knowledge.

Class will be held at Uncommon Coffee!

Blind tasting is a great way to refine and awaken your palate. Perhaps one of the best ways to teach yourself about wine is to taste in this guided fashion so you can experience things like "what is high acid?" what does that feel like on your palate, and more importantly - do you like that quality of wine?

We will taste through a few wines together and maybe even make a game out of it! If you've come to our classes in the past, this will test your "old world vs new world" learning and further your wine knowledge.

Have some fun with us and bring your friends!

Let's get into the nitty-gritty of what makes each glass of wine unique - TERROIR! 🌱🌞 This fancy French term describes the environment where grapes are grown - think soil, climate, and topography, what grows around it, every little part of the microclimate the grapes are growing around! 🌍🍇

But don't worry, you don't need to be a sommelier to appreciate it! Just sip on your wine and imagine the sun-soaked hillsides and earthy soil that make it oh-so-delicious.

We will taste 6 different wines showcasing a wide range of styles, regions, and classic expressions of Terroir! Snacks provided and class attendees get 10% off retail for any bottles you loved tasting in the class!
