What happens when a vine is forced to fight through layers of ancient ash, cooling basalt, and jagged pumice? It produces some of the most electric, tension-filled wines on the planet. This month, we are exploring Volcanic wines from some of the most famous regions on Earth, including: Santorini in Greece, Sicily and Soave in Italy, Uco Valley in Argentina, and the Canary Islands of Spain.

I’m also excited to debut our 5-Minute Masterclass series—short, high-impact sessions designed to bridge our tasting themes with technical insights from my WSET and Society of Wine Educators studies. This month, we’re focusing on the 'Electric Spine' of wine—acidity; how to detect acid levels on your palate, why Volcanic wines are naturally vibrant and why acidity is crucial for age-worthy wine and food pairing.

7 wines, pairing snacks. Secure your spot on a first-come basis for $40pp. Please note that registration will close on Friday, May 8th, and all sales are final due to the advance purchase of wines. This tasting is for Starkey Ranch residents only.
