🍇 Pinot vs. Nebbiolo: A Tale of Two 'Heartbreak Grapes'
October at Sip Better Wine Shop
Calling all Pinotfiles — it’s time to meet your grape’s Italian soulmate.
Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo are often called cousins in style: both are light in color yet incredibly complex in flavor, with layers of red fruit, spice, and earthiness that keep wine lovers coming back for more. But while Pinot thrives in Burgundy, Oregon, and California, Nebbiolo makes its home in the hills of Piedmont, Italy, where it produces legendary wines like Barolo and Barbaresco.
In this class, Sommelier Leslee Miller, owner of Amusée + Sip Better will guide you through a side-by-side tasting of Pinot Noir + Nebbiolo from around the world, highlighting:
- Why Pinotfiles often fall in love with Nebbiolo
- The shared elegance and structure of these two grapes
- Key differences in body, tannin, and aromatics
- Perfect fall food pairings for each style
✨ Expect a deliciously geeky, cozy autumn evening of discovery — ideal for seasoned members and new neighbors ready to sip their way into the season.
