Coastal vs. inland wine: can you really taste the difference? 🤔 🌊

It was answered last week at our Quench at Copia event with Andrea Robinson and special guest Dan Petroski. They explored how coastal climates completely reshape wine profiles. We want to thank you, Dan, for being an extraordinary guest and sharing your knowledge of maritime winemaking with everyone.

Next up in the series: Sonoma Leadership and Legacy on September 9 with Christopher Sawyer. 🌿

This Wednesday on Quench Live: six wines shaped by the coast. 🌊

Dan Petroski of Massican is stepping away from harvest to taste with me, from Rías Baixas to Bolgheri and the Sonoma Coast to Jerez.

How does ocean proximity affect what's in the glass? We'll explore, with bites from The Grove, including quail egg raviolo, boquerones, and Pecorino.

Arrive at 5:00 for a blind tasting challenge wine. Filming begins at 5:30 p.m. PT.

In person at CIA at Copia in Napa, or live on YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Ever wondered how ocean breezes and maritime air actually change what's in your glass? 🌊🍃

There is a fascinating reason coastal climates produce some of the most vibrant, high-acidity, and refreshing wines in the world. Find out for yourself on August 19 as Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson and American vintner Dan Petroski explore "Wines That See the Sea".

Together, they'll guide you in a tasting through extraordinary coastal terroirs with six wines, including Massican Winery's Gemina. You'll learn how ocean fog and ancient chalky soils shape every sip, all paired with gourmet bites from our very own Chef Chris Lemerand.
