Nebbiolo

Piedmontese winemaking is built on patience, resilience, and a deep connection to the land. For generations, winemakers have tended these vineyards with quiet, almost monastic devotion. This philosophy of stewardship over spectacle is woven into the region’s culture, where the producers in this tasting honor that legacy while continuing to shape the future of Piedmontese wine. In this tasting, we’ll explore Italy’s iconic regions through diverse expressions of the Nebbiolo grape. Known as the “King of Grapes,” Nebbiolo is celebrated for its powerful structure, aromatic complexity, and ability to age beautifully.

Rhone Style

Rhône-style wines have found a second home along California’s coast, where Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Viognier, and others thrive in the sun-drenched vineyards from Paso to SLO. Inspired by the Rhône Valley in France, these wines are bold, expressive, and perfectly suited to the Golden State’s diverse microclimates. This tasting celebrates the new generation of American winemakers crafting Rhône blends with creativity and coastal flair. Join us for a tasting of discovery, where Old World grapes meet California soul.
