Event details
Sommelier Joe Smith is back for another educational class, this time taking a closer look at one of the most important influences in winemaking: oak. We’ll explore how different types of oak, barrel size, age, toast level, and time in barrel can shape a wine’s aroma, flavor, texture, and structure.
Throughout the class, Joe will use a selection of wines alongside our aroma kit to help guests identify classic oak-derived characteristics like vanilla, baking spice, toast, cedar, coconut, and smoke. We’ll also look at how winemakers use oak differently around the world and learn to recognize when oak is making its presence known in the glass. This class goes beyond simply asking whether a wine is “oaky” and explores exactly what that wood is doing to your wine.

Event details
Germany and Austria share more than a border. They grow many of the same grapes, yet differences in climate, geography, and winemaking can produce remarkably different expressions in the glass. On Tuesday, November 3 from 6–8 PM, Somm Wine Bar Sommelier Kyle Skinner will lead a comparative tasting exploring those differences side by side.
We’ll taste six wines built around three grape varieties, with one German and one Austrian example of each. Rather than simply tasting through two countries, Kyle will break down how the same grape changes depending on where it’s grown, highlighting differences in terroir, style, and winemaking along the way.
A charcuterie board will be served for the tasting. Tickets are $50 per person and include all six wines and charcuterie.

Throughout the evening, we’ll pair the wines with fried chicken sandwiches and caviar, bringing together bubbles, salt, richness, and crunch.
