301 - Terroir Wars: Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhône, Loir
2026-05-20 19:00 | Westfield Wine Vault, 100 N. Union, Westfield, IN, 46704, United States
This class puts France’s most influential wine regions head-to-head, revealing how terroir, structure, and winemaking philosophy create dramatically different expressions in the glass. Rather than focusing on individual grapes, this class zooms out to examine how place, tradition, and intent shape style—and why France remains the global benchmark for regional identity.
Through guided, comparative tasting, we’ll explore how climate, soil, vineyard practices, and historical approach translate into balance, texture, and ageability. Expect thoughtful discussion and side-by-side contrasts that make the differences between regions unmistakable.
Regional Showdown

Burgundy — elegance, site expression, restraint, and nuance

Bordeaux — blending mastery, structure, power, and longevity

Rhône — North vs. South contrasts in spice, weight, and intensity

Loire — freshness, versatility, and exceptional value

Designed for confident wine lovers, this class is about understanding the why behind French wine—why no two regions play by the same rules, why stylistic differences are intentional, and how philosophy in the vineyard and cellar defines what ends up in your glass. If you love thinking critically about wine and connecting taste to place, this class is for you. 🇫🇷🍷

Pour Decisions - Bank Wars -Bordeaux - Left vs Right
2026-05-16 19:00 | Westfield Wine Vault, 100 N. Union, Westfield, IN, 46704, United States
In this blind tasting experience, we’re pitting the Left Bank against the Right Bank to see which style truly wins the room. Without labels, prices, or hints, you’ll taste, vote, and debate your way through two very different expressions of Bordeaux.
The Left Bank is known for Cabernet Sauvignon–driven blends that are structured, bold, and built to age. The Right Bank, on the other hand, leans heavily on Merlot, producing wines that are plush, round, and immediately approachable. Same region. Same grapes. Completely different personalities.
This is classic Pour Decisions—interactive, opinionated, and designed to help you discover what you actually like, not what you think you’re supposed to like.
Come ready to pick a side… or change your mind.
No wine knowledge required. Strong opinions encouraged.

101 - Intro to.... France
2026-05-14 19:00 | Westfield Wine Vault, 100 N. Union, Westfield, IN, 46704, United States
The Mother of All Wine
France is the foundation of the modern wine world. Nearly every major wine region, grape, and style we know today traces its roots back to France — yet French wine can still feel overwhelming at first glance.
Intro to France is a friendly, no-pressure introduction to how French wine actually works. Instead of memorizing labels or decoding complicated appellations, this class focuses on the big picture: why France is so influential, how its regions differ, and how to taste French wine with confidence.
We’ll explore France through its most important regions, showing how climate, tradition, and terroir shape wines that range from crisp and refreshing to structured and age-worthy — all without the guesswork.

201 - One Grape, Many Faces - How France Uses the Same Grape Differently
2026-05-11 19:00 | Westfield Wine Vault, 100 N. Union, Westfield, IN, 46704, United States
🍷 More depth. More contrast. More “aha” moments. Still fun, still approachable.
A few tips prior to class:
How France Uses the Same Grape Differently
One of the defining ideas of French wine is that grape variety alone never tells the full story. In France, the same grape can produce dramatically different wines depending on where it’s grown, how it’s farmed, and how tradition shapes its expression.
One Grape, Many Faces is a exploration of internal contrast — how France takes a single grape and transforms it across regions into wines that feel distinct in structure, texture, and purpose.
We’ll focus on some of France’s most important grapes and examine how place, climate, and philosophy reshape them — sometimes so completely that they hardly seem like the same wine at all.
⏰ Plan for 3 hours. Given the amount of wine you will drink, and regions you will cover, this class is usually 2.5-3 hours long. Obviously, you are free to leave whenever, but if you don’t want to miss anything, plan for 3 hours.

301 - Masters Series - Walla Walla
2026-04-30 19:00 | Westfield Wine Vault, 100 N. Union, Westfield, IN, 46704, United States
Power, Precision & a Sense of Place
Few American wine regions have evolved as quickly — or as deliberately — as Walla Walla Valley. What began as a small, agricultural corner of the Pacific Northwest is now one of the most respected sources of site-driven, age-worthy wines in the country.
This 301-level class is a deep dive into why Walla Walla works, and why its wines feel both powerful and distinctly refined. We’ll explore how elevation, wind, soil diversity, and proximity to the Blue Mountains shape structure and freshness, and why Walla Walla consistently produces wines with intensity and balance.
Rather than treating Walla Walla as a single style, this class breaks the valley apart — examining sub-zones, vineyard influence, and winemaking philosophy to show how dramatically wines can differ within a relatively small geographic area.
It’s an examination of place, intention, and maturity in one of Washington’s most important regions.

Understanding the State Behind the Bottle
Washington is one of the most dynamic wine regions in the country — and also one of the most misunderstood. At the 201 level, it’s time to move beyond generalizations and explore how Washington wine actually works.
All About Washington Wine is a deeper look at the forces that shape wine across the state: geography, climate, vineyard practices, and the role of AVAs. Rather than treating Washington as a single style, this class breaks the state into its key components, showing how and why wines from different areas taste the way they do.
We’ll focus on why Washington consistently delivers both power and balance, how desert farming and irrigation influence quality, and what makes Washington fundamentally different from California and Oregon.
This class is designed to give you a working understanding of Washington wine — the kind that helps you recognize regional character, make confident buying decisions, and understand why certain grapes thrive here.

301 - Women, Terroir & Legacy
2026-03-26 19:00 | Westfield Wine Vault, 100 N. Union, Westfield, IN, 46704, United States
The Architects of Place
Wine is no longer about trends, technique, or even style — it’s about terroir and legacy. Who defined a region’s identity? Who protected it, challenged it, or pushed it forward?
In Women, Terroir & Legacy, we examine women who didn’t simply run wineries — they redefined how entire regions are understood. These are producers whose philosophies around soil, farming, and restraint reshaped expectations and influenced generations of winemakers after them.
This is not a “women’s wine” class. It is a deep dive into place, intention, and long-term vision, told through the work of women whose impact is impossible to ignore.
Women who defined or redefined terroir — not just brands or bottlings — and whose decisions permanently altered the trajectory of their regions.

The Women who Shaped Champagne - The Legacy & the Leaders
2026-03-22 14:00 | Westfield Wine Vault, 100 N. Union, Westfield, IN, 46704, United States
Champagne did not become Champagne by accident. Its identity — precision, consistency, prestige, and global recognition — was built through decisive leadership, long-term vision, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Many of the individuals responsible for that legacy were women.
Women Who Shaped Champagne: The Legacy and the Leaders explores how women have influenced Champagne across generations — from the early innovators who laid the foundation of the modern Champagne house to the contemporary leaders guiding the region today. This class intentionally bridges past and present, showing Champagne not as a static tradition, but as a living system shaped by continuity and evolution.
Through a curated tasting of Champagnes led by women across eras and roles, we’ll explore how leadership decisions — blending philosophy, reserve wine strategy, dosage, farming practices, and aging — define not just individual bottles, but the long-term identity of the region itself.
This is not a retrospective. It is a conversation about stewardship, authority, and continuity — and why Champagne remains one of the most disciplined and enduring wine regions in the world.

Pour Decisions - Does Gender Have a Taste?
2026-03-21 19:00 | Westfield Wine Vault, 100 N. Union, Westfield, IN, 46704, United States
We talk about wine with confidence — but how much of what we “taste” is shaped by expectation?
In Does Gender Have a Taste? you are invited to put assumptions to the test through a fast-paced, blind tasting designed to challenge bias, spark debate, and keep things fun. The question isn’t whether men or women make betterwine — it’s whether knowing who made the wine changes how we experience it.
You’ll taste a series of wines completely blind, without knowing the producer, region, or winemaker. Some wines are made by women. Some by men. All are chosen to be comparable in style, grape, or region — and all are meant to provoke strong opinions.
Then comes the reveal.
How It Works

Multiple blind pours

You vote on prompts like:

Which wine feels more elegant?

Which would you cellar?

Which would you order again?

Discussion before labels, regions, or winemakers are revealed

Only after preferences are locked in do we uncover the stories behind the bottles.
What This Class Is (and Isn’t)

✔ A fun, interactive tasting

✔ A chance to trust your palate

✔ A conversation starter

❌ Not a lecture

❌ Not about right or wrong answers

Why It Works
Blind tasting removes the noise — no labels, no reputations, no assumptions. What’s left is structure, balance, and personal preference. And the results are often surprising.
Takeaway:You liked the wine before you knew who made it — and that tells you more than you think.

Think you can spot a Spanish wine in a blind lineup? In this Pour Decisions class, we’ll put your palate to the test with a head-to-head showdown of Spain vs. the rest of the world. Same style goals, different grapes, regions, and personalities—can you tell which is which?
We’ll taste and compare:

Tempranillo vs. Cabernet Sauvignon – structure, tannin, and savory vs. bold

Garnacha vs. Pinot Noir – elegance, body, and fruit expression

Albariño vs. Sauvignon Blanc – acidity, aromatics, and freshness

This class is all about trusting your senses, recognizing texture and flavor clues, and learning how climate and winemaking influence wines that can seem surprisingly similar—or wildly different. No wrong answers here—just great discussion, lots of “aha” moments, and maybe a few surprises.
