Legendary regions such as Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay, and Pommard have captured the palates of wine lovers for generations, and in this class, we'll learn why.

We'll start with an overview of Burgundy, including its history and the ideas behind 'terroir.' Then we'll dive into the Côte de Beaune and do a village-by-village analysis of what those regions bring to the glass. Included will be tasting a wide variety of wines, from basic Bourgogne through top-level Premier Cru wines.

Detailed discussion with focus on the comparison of three great white wine villages: Puligny, Chassagne, and Meursault; plus three great red wine villages: Volnay, Pommard, and Chorey-Les-Beaune. Additionally, we'll cover in detail the surrounding villages plus an understanding of the Burgundy ranking systems for wine.

The Loft Presents If: Big Ideas with Madeline Miller—Why is If the Most Important Word?

This season, the Loft will explore the theme If.

They’ll ask: what if The Odyssey miscast one of its minor characters? What if Homer’s limited engagement with this subject prevented us from understanding the complex story of a woman exiled? Bringing award-winning author and scholar Madeline Miller, in conversation with Harmony Neal, to the stage to discuss her latest novel Circe, organizers invite you to ask what if we could hear the story this way, instead. $10, members $5.
