Decoding the Language of Wine - Sept 11, 2025
-
Savoring what’s in your glass is one thing—making sense of the tasting notes on labels, in reviews, or wine books is another. Pencil lead? Acidity? Minerality? Sometimes it feels like wine has its own secret language. In this approachable, palate-driven class, our founder and Advanced Sommelier, Kaleigh, will guide you through five thoughtfully selected wines as we unravel the vocabulary of wine—from time-honored descriptors to the trendiest terms. By the end, you’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how structure and style show up in the glass—and the words to describe what you’re experiencing, both on the palate and in your own voice.
