Otherside Wine Bar: Beaujolais Masterclass

March 21 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$85

Event Details:

oin us SATURDAY, MARCH 21st (3-5pm) for a guided deep dive into Beaujolais, one of France’s most exciting and misunderstood wine regions. Often associated with easy-drinking Nouveau, Beaujolais in fact produces some of the most soulful, transparent expressions of Gamay in the world.

In this masterclass, we’ll taste through wines from several of the region’s most celebrated growers — including members of the legendary “Gang of Four” who helped redefine Beaujolais in the late 20th century through organic farming and minimal-intervention cellar practices.

Along the way we’ll explore the crus of Beaujolais, the influence of granite soils, and how site, farming, and winemaking choices shape the personality of each wine. From the lifted florality of Chiroubles to the deeper structure of Morgon, this lineup showcases the remarkable range of Gamay at its most expressive.

Expect a lively conversation, a few surprises, and six beautiful wines that capture the energy and character of modern Beaujolais.
