Wine 101 – Oregon at Hinsdale Wine Shop – Hinsdale, IL

Join us for the next session of Wine 101 where we explore the elegant Pinot Noirs and refreshing Pinot Gris that put Oregon on the map. In this relaxed, beginner-friendly class we’ll taste 5–7 standout wines; a perfect mix of bright whites, silky reds, and possibly a sparkling, all from the famous Willamette Valley. You’ll learn what makes Oregon Pinot so special: the cool climate that brings vibrant acidity and pure fruit, the volcanic and marine soils that add complexity, and the passionate producers crafting world-class bottles that rival Burgundy. We’ll compare different styles, talk terroir, and share easy food-pairing tips so you can confidently enjoy these wines at home.

Perfect for beginners, Pinot lovers, or anyone curious about American wine in a fun, conversational setting. What’s included:

• Generous tasting pours of 5–7 Oregon wines (Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and possibly a sparkling)
• Detailed tasting notes to take home
• Light bites to cleanse the palate between wines
• 10% off Single Bottles & Case Specials for any Oregon wines purchased in-shop that night
