American wine isn’t just big Napa reds and oaky Chardonnay anymore. This class explores the contrast between classic, old-school styles and the newer wave embracing heritage grapes, carbonic maceration, and co-ferments. We’ll unpack what those techniques actually mean in the glass—and why so many “crushable” wines exist today. Eye-opening and palate-expanding.

It's been a year since Stefano Occhetti stood in our shop, anxiously awaiting 2025 Tariff information to be announced. A lot has changed since then, but we're thrilled to have Stefano back slinging a variety of his estate bottlings, plus a back vintage selection :) Pop by to ask Stefano ALL the questions about Piedmont, Nebbiolo, farming practices, or just general day-to-day winemaking queries.
