Varietal Comparisons Class with Mike Ward

Ever wonder why one Chardonnay tastes crisp and citrusy while another feels rich and buttery? Or how two Pinot Noirs can taste completely different depending on where they’re grown? Join us at The Wine Barrel for an interactive evening of varietal comparisons—taste, learn, and discover how the same grape can express itself differently depending on where it’s grown.

Certified Wine Educator, WSET Level 3, and Italian Wine Scholar, Mike Ward will guide you through side-by-side tastings that highlight the differences (and surprising similarities) between classic varietals. Along the way, he’ll share tips and insights to help you sharpen your palate and better understand what’s in your glass.
