About this Event
The Deep End is for drinkers who are ready to go further.
This advanced wine school series explores rare bottles, under-represented regions, and producers working far outside the mainstream. Each class focuses on wines that are small-production, thoughtfully sourced, and not often poured outside industry circles—designed for guests who want context, depth, and access rather than overviews or trends.
These sessions move quickly, assume curiosity, and prioritize tasting over theory. Expect conversations that go beyond the label and into place, practice, and philosophy.
This is where we slow down, open something special, and see how deep the glass can go. The price of these classes reflects the collector-level wines we'll be opening.
What We’re Drinking: Wines of Japan
A deep dive series into one of the most exciting wine scenes right now
Japan may be better known for sake, but its wine scene is quietly (and thrillingly) coming into its own—and this class series is your invitation in.
What We’re Drinking: Wines of Japan explores the country’s unique grape varieties, growing regions, and philosophies around precision, balance, and restraint. We’ll taste experimental and boundary-pushing bottles that reflect Japan’s singular approach to craft.
Each session in this series will feature a new lineup of wines and themes, allowing us to go deeper over time while keeping every class accessible on its own.
Expect:
• Guided tastings of rare and hard-to-find Japanese wines
• Context around culture, climate, and technique
• A conversation-driven format focused on discovery, not dogma
Perfect for wine nerds, collectors, and curious drinkers alike.
