Vertical Vintages
A Journey Through Time
They were the best of times, they were the worst of times. The easy growing seasons and the challenging ones. The Colaneri Family is opening their personal cellar to allow you to taste through the same wine but from 5 distinct vintages. This journey through time will focus on the similarities and differences between these wines, the years they were grown in and insights into the aging process. After seeing how these wines change with age and season, you will be given the unique opportunity to purchase one of these bottles!

Taking Care of Business
Behind the Bottle
Palate, aroma, passion, artistry, are all used to describe the world of wine but there is an important part that is missing from the success of any winery…Business! Why does that bottle have that price tag? Why does this Merlot cost more than this one? In this seminar, we explore the important daily decisions made in the winery and how every choice from picking to barrels to bottling leads to the taste and aroma of wine in your glass and what costs come from them. You will sample wines in their early stages to the finished product, from low price point to high and how that is all determined.
