Join us for an exploration of wines from five uniquely distinct Mediterranean islands! We will be tasting wines from islands of Lemnos, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and Canary Islands and learn all about the significance of wines coming from these special areas located in Mediterranean sea - we will be discussing winemaking traditions, climate and soil characteristic that uniquely influence these wines as well as learning how these winemakers harness the beauty and struggles of living on these islands to create incredibly complex wines while mainly growing and focusing on indigenous grape varieties. All the wines sources for this event are coming from wineries that are applying very conscious practices when it comes to work in the vineyards as well as wine cellars. They are practicing regenerative, organic or biodynamic practices and protecting the land and increasing biodiversity of this special jewels of Mediterranean. All five wines will be accompanied with a generous charcuterie board and breads to share.

To honor our hosts Zero Zero wine bar and to introduce you to another style of natural wine we decided to create a session dedicated to purely “zero zero” wines: wines made with no added sulphur. In the natural wine community it is generally accepted that wine should have very low to no amounts of added sulphur. Now as much as this is up for debate, we want to give you an experience of tasting through five zero-zero wines yourself. These wines often exude a vibrancy and energy as well as having the ability to evolve in remarkable ways that you might have not experienced in other wines. Come taste them for yourself and see what the hype is about!

We all know about champagne, but what on earth is a Pét-Nat (and how is it even pronounced)? All of these questions and more will be covered in this fun tasting session where we will unveil the unknown and dive deeper in history and production of Pét-Nat (short for Pétillant naturel) as well as talk about other styles of natural sparkling wines that you might come across when shopping for bubbly. We will taste through five different bubbles and cover an array of styles and hopefully find some new favorites for you!

It may look like a glass of orange juice, but orange (also known as skin-contact or amber) wine is about as far as possible from being a sugary drink. Orange wine is a style of winemaking that has been made for thousands of years, yet it has only recently made its resurgence and find a place on the shelves of so many natural wine bars and stores. Orange wines by their nature of production often overlap with the natural wine world, but it’s important to be aware that not every orange wine is a natural wine. In this class we will learn all the history and behind-the-scenes of making these wines and exploring different styles of orange wines through our tasting.

Natural, organic, biodynamic, sustainable, dry-farmed, zero-sulfur, vegan… the world of wine can often be really confusing! We break down all the mysteries around these loosely described concepts and talk about what natural wine really is and isn’t so that you will be confident in your knowledge of natural wine and know what you really enjoy. We will taste five different natural wines made in different styles and establish a strong foundation for your curious palate.
