In this Master Series class, we take an in-depth exploration of Sauvignon Blanc — a grape that spans continents and styles, from razor-sharp and mineral-driven to lush and tropical. Designed for seasoned wine enthusiasts and serious learners, this advanced class focuses on terroir, winemaking techniques, and the nuanced expressions of Sauvignon Blanc from benchmark regions.
We’ll compare the flinty, structured wines of France’s Loire Valley (like Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé) with vibrant Austrian interpretations and Germany’s rare bottlings, then expand to include iconic examples from New Zealand, California, and beyond. You’ll develop a keen understanding of how climate, soil, and cellar craft shape this versatile variety.
