The second in a series of 3 seminars led by Brenna Quigley.

I am so happy and excited to host this session, novel in structure for us.

In this session, Brenna will be joined by her friend and colleague, Paul Wasserman, and I will sit on the side as she leads the discussion. She and Paul have worked together closely in Burgundy for a decade; this collaboration has flowered most recently in the wonderful Roadside Terroir podcasts of 2024.

Brenna and Paul will begin the session with demonstration of the way that Paul tastes to understand, not merely identify, Burgundy wines. We will taste these wines blind, but they will all be serious-- Premier Cru level.

We will drink and taste up to 8 more wines, all Burgundy, in a further exploration of the topics that Brenna and Paul bring up at the beginning. Just so that you get a sense of what we will be drinking, these are two wines that I have sourced for the session:

• 1989 Domaine Michel Lafarge Beaune Premier Cru Greves

• 1983 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

For a guide to our pathways in planning this, you might turn to this podcast.

The elevated price of this session will help us to cover the cost of these and other exceptional wines

This event will be held at our winery, located at 2079 E 15th Street 90021, on the edge of the Arts District in DTLA.
