This class is intended for advanced wine students, industry professionals, and enthusiasts looking to get nerdy.
From chalk to clay, granite to volcanic ash, soil tells the story of a wine before a single grape is crushed. In this in-depth class, we’ll explore how soil composition, drainage, and mineral balance influence vine growth, grape chemistry, and ultimately, the flavors we taste. Through comparative tastings and visual aids, we’ll connect geology to glass, examining how site, slope, and structure shape style and longevity. Equal parts science and sensory, this is terroir made tangible. A journey for those who want to understand why wines taste the way they do.
