At first glance, these wines may share the same grape—but taste, tradition, and terroir tell a very different story. One of These Things Is Not Like the Other is a comparative tasting designed to highlight how place, climate, and winemaking choices shape dramatically different expressions of the same varietal.
Led in partnership with Vino Veritas, this guided class will explore side-by-side pairings such as Sauvignon Blanc from France vs. New Zealand and Grenache from Spain vs. France, inviting you to examine how regional identity influences style. Along the way, we’ll discuss growing conditions, historical context, and production philosophies that make each wine distinct.
This class is interactive, educational, and ideal for anyone curious about why the same grape can taste so different depending on where it’s grown. Whether you’re sharpening your palate or simply enjoy a good “aha” moment in the glass, this tasting offers a thoughtful—and fun—way to see wine from a new perspective.
