Join us for our last wine tasting for awhile at 571 Galapago St, Denver, CO 80204 at 6:30 pm with spectacular sommelier, Greta Arendsen, tasting Beaujolais wine! 

Auparavant, si vous avez dit « non » à Beaujolais Nouveau, c'est là le moment de dire « oui » à Beaujolais Crus! Contrary to popular belief, Beaujolais is so much more than the tart, young wine released in November.  In the final class of our French wine education series, we will look closely at the ten Crus and their unique characteristics.  We will learn about pinot noir's less famous sister gamay, carbonic maceration and the origins of the natural wine movement. Come join Certified Sommelier, Greta Arendsen, for a nuanced tasting of six Beaujolais with cheese pairing by Certified Cheese Professional, Devin Lamma.  Class is Thursday, May 16th and tickets tend to sell out fast. À très vite![...]

Sprechen Sie Elsässisch? Ouais, moi non plus. Heureusement, you don't need to speak French, Alsatian, German or Flemish to enjoy the crisp whites that hail from Alsace.  Located in northeastern France, Alsace, while no longer occupied by Germany, is not totally French either and Germanic influence is undeniable in the high-acid, aromatic, predominately white wines. This picturesque region will be the focus of the next educational wine tasting led by Certified Sommelier, Greta Arendsen, with cheese selected from Certified Cheese Professional, Devin Lamma.  We will discuss the northern terroir in the Vosges mountains, Franco/Prussian influences, wine laws and taste wines made from the four noble grape varieties, among others. Please join us April 11th for a night of frenetic wine and creamy cheeses. S’gilt!
