Advanced Level Course
Icon Producer Intensive
This 3 class course is for the serious wine taster who is seeking to deepen their perspective in wine. The focus here is understanding classic and modern producers in regions around the world. By studying, tasting and exploring the movers and shakers of a region, you get to know more intimately what that region is about. This is a key step to gaining mastery in your tasting: knowing the iconic producers. Cheers! Course is limited to 12 with a minimum of 9.
I am working with San Diego's award-winning French restaurant The Wine Sellar and Brasserie on an amazing dinner paired to enhance these luxury wines.
Class 1: Harlan, Napa Valley
Wed, Jan 18th
In this class we explore the wines of the Napa Cult legend Harlan. 3 Wines will be tasted with 2 from vintages scoring over 100 points (if you care). Join us as we discover a California "First Growth" from the hills of Oakville.
6-8pm
Class 2: Sine Qua Non, Santa Barbara
Wed, Feb 8th
A Rhone Ranger winery with a twist, this is a humble winery with top rated wines. Many of you know my weakspot for Syrah and Santa Barbara, so let's go there. 4 wines will be tasted.
"Our goal has been and always will be to understand Mother Nature’s often oblique ways and (re)act accordingly so that we may create wines that express all that Nature has so generously given us. Wines that surprise with each sip and where the last drop – not the first sip – was the best one. Wines that make you smile and happy and appreciate all that is lovely."
-Owners Elaine + Manfred
Optional 4 course pairing dinner at Wine Sellar and Brasserie.
6-8pm
Class 3: Chateau Lafite, Bordeaux
Wed, March 8th
Chateau Lafite is arguably one of the very best producers out of Bordeaux and are well-known for their long-aged wines at the top echelon of quality and reputation.
In this exploration of our beloved Cabernet Sauvignon we see why this grape is built to last. My personal goal (as this class falls around my birthday) is that the wines are at their peak, giving us a sublime and unbelievably inspiring experience. We will be tasting 1982 as part of this vertical of 3 vintages.

Lindsey is extremely knowledgeable about wine, and she's pretty funny as well. The class was casual and fun, and of course involved lots of wine drinking, so it was a blast. Highly recommend.
