Compare Chardonnay from four world-class regions and discover how place shapes one of wine's greatest grapes.

Few grape varieties have suffered more from stereotype than Chardonnay. Too often, we reduce it to "oaky" or "buttery," forgetting that Chardonnay is perhaps the greatest translator of place in the wine world. In this comparative tasting, we'll explore four benchmark regions, Sonoma, Chablis, Maconnais, and Piedmont to understand how climate, geology, and winemaking shape dramatically different expressions of the same grape.

If you've ever wondered why one Chardonnay tastes like crushed oyster shells while another recalls toasted hazelnuts and cream, this class is for you.
