In this class, Lindsay Drew, Certified Specialist of Wine and Certified Sommelier, will lead us as we explore biodynamic farming and winemaking: its origins, practices, and mysticism. Does following the moon’s phases really make a wine better? Let’s find out together. And yes, we will be discussing gnomes.

About the IMBIBE Series

IMBIBE means to consume or absorb – and that’s exactly what you’ll do in our classes… consume and absorb wine, food, and knowledge.

We host 2-3 IMBIBE classes each month – usually on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Now that we are seeing the light at the end of the Pandemic tunnel, we are offering a mix of virtual and in-person classes. These classes are a great way to learn, and engage with other like-minded members of our community.  We have a variety of highly knowledgeable professionals who impart great information, and usually a few good laughs, too!
