Each session centers on a single theme explored through a few truly exceptional wines. This first edition delves into Loire Valley Chenin Blanc, featuring Thibaud Boudignon Savennières Clos de la Hutte 2022, Domaine du Collier Saumur Blanc 2021, and Huet Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec 2023. We’ll discuss how appellation, producer, and vintage shape these benchmark wines—each among the finest expressions of Chenin in France. With an average bottle price over $100, this is an intimate opportunity to taste greatness in detail.

Event begins at 5:45 with a short reception to get settled before discussion starts at 6:00. Each session blends education, entertainment, and conversation around distinctive wines, paired with a small palate-cleansing bite. End time varies, but all wines will be poured and discussed by 7:15.
