Rosé Wine 101
A fresh, flavorful deep dive into one of wine’s most misunderstood styles
📅 April 15
⏰ 5:30 p.m. PT
💻 Hosted live online
(Consider this your official excuse to avoid thinking about tax day—or the best possible way to celebrate getting it done.)
Rosé isn’t just “summer wine,” and it’s definitely not all the same.
In this live, online class, we’ll explore rosé wines from different regions and styles—unpacking how they’re made, why they taste so different from bottle to bottle, and how to find rosés you’ll actually love drinking.
We’ll talk color, flavor, structure, and place in a way that feels approachable and intuitive, not technical or overwhelming. Whether you’re a year-round rosé fan or someone who’s never quite known what to grab off the shelf, this class will give you clarity—and confidence.
Bonus: it’s a far more enjoyable way to spend April 15 than staring at spreadsheets.
What to Expect:
A guided, live walkthrough of rosé styles and regions
Clear explanations of how rosé is made and why that matters
Why some rosés are crisp and dry, others fruity and bold
Tips for choosing rosé based on your taste—not trends
Plenty of space for questions, opinions, and “wait, that explains it” moments
Expect learning, laughter, and at least one moment where rosé finally clicks.
What You’ll Need to Bring/Purchase Ahead of Time:
Wine is not provided for this workshop.
You’ll receive a simple shopping guide in advance with flexible rosé suggestions so you can taste along if you like.
You’re also welcome to:
Open a rosé you already have
Compare two different bottles
Or join without wine and just soak it all in
All are equally welcome.
Who This Is For
This class is for you if:
You love rosé—or want to love it more
You’ve noticed rosé varies wildly and want to understand why
You want to feel more confident buying rosé beyond the prettiest label
You enjoy learning in a relaxed, conversational setting
You’d rather sip wine than think about taxes
No prior wine knowledge required—just curiosity (and maybe a chilled bottle).
