$30.00
Instructor: David Anderson, WSET- 3
Oregon is home to 23 distinct winegrowing regions, known as American Viticulture Areas, or AVAs. The primary regions are the Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon, the Columbia Gorge and Eastern Oregon. This class highlights primary varietals (types of grapes) grown in these regions, and styles of winemaking as they are influenced by local micro-climates. A future class will examine nuances between specific sub-AVAs of the Willamette Valley, with an emphasis on Pinot Noir, and is set to draw on content covered in this first class.
