Explore the rich history and bold flavors of fortified wines in this tasting-focused class. Made by adding spirit to wine, these unique styles come from just a few regions: Port from Portugal’s Douro Valley, Sherry from Jerez in Spain, Madeira from its namesake island, and Vin Doux Naturels from southern France. Each wine tells a story—shaped by dramatic landscapes, traditional methods like Madeira’s Canteiro aging, and deep ties to local cuisine. As we taste, we’ll discover how grapes, geography, and technique influence what’s in the glass. Instructor: David Gansler
