What to expect
You'll sit down with a knowledgeable sommelier who'll guide you through four wines in order, keeping their identities hidden until the reveal. Before each glass, you'll observe colour and nose, then taste while considering the pairing alongside cheese or charcuterie. The session stays conversational—questions welcomed, pretension checked at the door. Expect to learn how natural winemaking differs from conventional methods and why these producers matter in Bordeaux's broader story. Sixty minutes moves quickly but covers genuine ground.
