Zachys Cellar School: Burgundy 201

Go beyond Burgundy basics, explore history, vineyards, and how villages, slopes, and soils shape Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Burgundy 201 is for those ready to move beyond the basics and start understanding why Burgundy tastes the way it does. We’ll explore the region’s long history, how vineyards were defined over centuries, and how place, villages, slopes, and soils, shapes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The focus is on building a framework for thinking about Burgundy so bottles feel connected, not confusing, and each wine tells a clearer story of where it comes from.

Classes will be hosted by Davis Steller. Davis has worked with wine from nearly every perspective — in the vineyard, the cellar, and the dining room. He’s farmed at iconic Sonoma estates like Mayacamas, Oakville Ranch, and Laurel Glen; made wine at Diamond Creek and Aubert in Napa as well as in Umbria; and spent years as a sommelier on the floor at acclaimed restaurants including Blue Hill and Single Thread’s sister restaurant, Little Saint. With this breadth of experience, Davis brings a rare, full-circle view of the wine world — connecting what’s in the glass back to the land, the cellar, and the people who make it.
