Join us on Saturday, December 5th from 11 AM–2 PM at our Woodinville Warehouse District location as we kick off Wine 101, a new educational series designed to take some of the mystery out of wine and help you sip, taste, and explore with more confidence. 

Get ready to pop, pour, and celebrate the season with our next Wine 101! This class is a deep dive into the fascinating world of sparkling wines, exploring their diverse styles, production methods, and geographical origins. Students will learn about the key differences between popular sparkling wine types, such as Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, and other sparkling varieties, and understanding what makes each unique.

The course covers essential production techniques like the traditional method (Méthode Champenoise), tank method, and others, and how these techniques impact flavor, texture, and overall experience. Whether you're looking for the perfect pour for your holiday celebrations or simply want to expand your wine knowledge, this class is a fun and festive way to raise a glass to the season!

The class will be hosted by our Wine Club Manager and wine educator, Michelle Vaughters.

Michelle brings more than 10 years of experience in the wine industry and holds the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines with Distinction. From working as a Cellar Door Hand in New Zealand to her role here at Patterson Cellars, Michelle brings a broad understanding of winemaking, varietals, regions, and food pairing, along with a passion for making wine education approachable and fun.
