Description

California is more than Napa Cab (or Sauvignon Blanc): Now more than ever a new cadre of vintners are turning old notions on their heads...... And with it have began to rewrite the rule book about what style is associated with California's mediterranean climate. Along the way they're making some incredible wines which will win over even the most ardent skeptic. These aint' your dad's Cali wnes, trust us. We explore: Explore a brief history of California's wine historyDiscuss the advent of Big Fruit and the resulting "New California WIne Movement" Explore and discuss the new trend in California WineDiscuss the new emerging and rebounding wine regions of the Golden StateTaste and evaluate a hand-picked selection of incredible farmer-winemaker wines.All attendees receive 10% off all wines at J's Bottle Shop starting with the first bottle purchased on day of event. Some restrictions apply. Q&A: RESIDENCY 2023 - Spring /SummerAre Normal School of Wine seminars back? Yes, and no. We are continuing a limited-engagement pop-up at J's Bottle Shop for the Spring/Summer 2023 Season. We have a potential for Fall/Winter Encore (including our most popular Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Champagne seminars in November and December). We move out of Athens after December 2023 so this will, truly, the last lap around the track! Do I need to sign up for all of them? Sure! But you don't have to- each one is a self-contained individual wine-tasting seminar with a specific theme. Can one do an 'exclusive' or private seminar or class? Can it be custom? Ish! But, we're open to it! We can craft/accomodate *most* theme-ed tastings (i.e. "Wines of Greece," "Port" or "Holiday Wines". Organizer (you) are in charge of purchasing the wines (special/deep discount) and a $300 tasting fee (invoiced by NSW). Availibility is limited. 18 person maximum. If I have a NSW Gift Certificate of Existing/Active Discount Code, can I still use it? Sure! If you can't apply it, and it is active, send us an email at [email protected] and we will see what we can do. Can I bring a non-paying person with me who will not drink? We don't encourage it- seating is very limited in what is a small-ish room and we rather leave the most comfortable spots for our paying and wine tasting guests. Can I bring my own wine glasses? Sure! Bear in mind we pour 2oz per wine and it may look different dependign on wine glass size and bowl shape. No complainin'
