About this Event
France sits at the heart of the global wine conversation. Its regions, traditions, and philosophy have quietly shaped how wine is made, labeled, and understood everywhere else in the world—even when we don’t realize it.
In this class, we’ll explore six examplary wines from classic French regions to understand how French wines express place, balance, and structure. Along the way, we’ll connect what’s in the glass to the foundational tasting concepts of acid, body, and tannin introduced in our first class, helping you recognize why French wines often feel so food-friendly, versatile, and timeless.
We’ll also touch on how French bottles communicate what’s inside—less as a technical exercise and more as a confidence boost—so you begin to see patterns, cues, and styles that make navigating wine lists and shop shelves feel intuitive rather than intimidating.
This class isn’t about memorizing regions or rules. It’s about understanding why France matters, how its wines fit into everyday drinking, and how learning French wine gives you a clearer lens for understanding wine from anywhere in the world.
