Our Sunday format for Buddies dives into a bit of technical goodness, to break down wines into their deeper components. With a systematic deductive method, we can learn how aspects of climate and winemaking affect various styles. In this theme, we will do a “single blind” comparison tasting, to explore the beautiful Pinot Noir grape from around the world.
