Masterclass Tasting Series
In this three-class series, we will deep dive into specific regions, producers, grapes, and/or tasting approaches. Ever-evolving, this course offers the thirsty wine scholar a deep-dive understanding of wines. How influential is the producer in the style? How can you recognize this? How important is the region, grape, blend in expressing the producer's vision? Mastering wine requires putting these pieces together and understanding how to weave differing elements and concepts to learn what a wine is really saying.
Each class we will taste 6 selections. Wine budget per class is $450 (average $75). Minimum of 8 people to run the course.
Costs $425 for entire 3 class course per person.
ALL CLASSES ARE PRICED PER PERSON. Discount of $75 off per course ($350pp) if you enroll as a group 3pp or more. Email for discount code.

Master Class Testimonial
Last night was so fun and surprisingly difficult! Champagne’s are much more complicated and complex than I had once thought. So cool that we got to taste and learn about the flight of wines! Thank you for your heart and skill in teaching our class. It really has been so much fun!

My wife and I have taken several courses from Lindsay. Her courses are always entertaining (Lindsay is kind of a goof) and always teach me things about wine I never even didn’t know that I didn’t know. The huge #1 benefit I’ve gotten, though, is that she teaches a systematic approach to wine tasting that is reproducible and works across every wine I’ve tasted since I’ve learned it. I now can not only tell a good wine from a mediocre one, but I can tell you why it’s a better wine using concrete terms. Her classes have increased my enjoyment of wine tremendously, and make me want to continue to learn more.
